Description
Shuyu Liu and colleagues assessed access to rabies treatment clinics in Gansu Province, China, in a 2026 spatial study. After a bite, fast wound care and vaccine can prevent rabies, so clinic placement matters. The team mapped every clinic offering this care in 2024.
Gansu had 426 such clinics, though only part offered wound care and fewer still stocked immune products for severe bites. Clinics clustered in the east, while the west and south had far fewer. Using road, land, and height data, the authors scored how hard it is for residents to reach the nearest clinic. Travel costs were highest in remote western and southern areas. They urge better planning and stronger clinics in poorer regions.
