Excerpt
`INTRODUCTION The World Health Organization discussed the feasibility of a global or regional approach for rabies elimination from urban areas at a consultation held in Geneva from 11-13 December 1989. Dr T. Bektimirov, Assistant Director-General, welcomed the participants (see Annex 1) in the name of Dr Hiroshi Nakajima, Director-General of the World Health Organization. He described the potentials for international cooperation in urban rabies elimination and stressed the need for a critical assessment of resources and management for elimination of this infection. Dr J. Blancou was elected Chairman and Dr H. Koprowski Vice-Chairman of the meeting. Drs M. Frith and W.A. Millinga served as Rapporteurs.
