Bali – On 14 September 2026, the research team from the Center for Public Health Innovation (CPHI), Udayana University, held a discussion with various stakeholders as part of the preparations for the implementation of RaCon for rabies prevention and control in Bali.

The discussion involved the Bali Governor’s Expert Team, the Head of the Bali Provincial Health Office, the Head of the Bali Provincial Agriculture Office, the Bali Regional Research and Innovation Agency (BRIDA), and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University. The involvement of these stakeholders represents an important step in establishing cross-sector coordination to support preparations for RaCon implementation.

The meeting provided a forum to discuss various aspects required for the preparation of RaCon implementation while aligning the perspectives of stakeholders involved in rabies prevention and control in Bali. The discussion also sought to strengthen coordination among the health and animal health sectors, government, academia, and researchers.

A cross-sector approach is particularly important as rabies prevention and control require the involvement of multiple stakeholders. Through this discussion, each stakeholder had the opportunity to contribute perspectives and input based on their respective areas of expertise and roles in supporting program implementation.

The activity is expected to serve as an initial step toward preparing for the implementation of RaCon in a coordinated and collaborative manner. Synergy among government institutions, academia, and researchers is also expected to support the development of evidence-based rabies prevention and control efforts that are appropriate to the Bali context.

Through this activity, CPHI Udayana University continues to promote cross-sector collaboration and the use of research and scientific evidence to strengthen public health programs, including efforts to prevent and control rabies in Bali.
