Rudy Kirkhope shares his experience of the Global Health Summer School 2017 in Kigali, Rwanda.

During my second year of MSc studies, I was introduced to the "Zero by 30" campaign to eradicate canine rabies worldwide. As part of this effort, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is currently supporting an intensive mass vaccination campaign for dogs in Haiti.
