Browns will be providing free rabies vaccinations for these outreach programmes, while also providing printed educational material as well as food samples.
Speaking on the initiative undertaken, Brown & Company PLC Veterinary Pharmaceuticals Division General Manager Mangala Wijesinghe stated, “We are more than happy to be working with Animal SOS Sri Lanka, as we feel it is our responsibility as well to contribute towards eradicating rabies from Sri Lanka. It is important that we get involved and assist in any way possible and contribute whatever we can towards eradicating this problem, while also educating the public on related matters.”
