Bitten by a dog, cat, or monkey? We keep anti-rabies vaccine in stock and start treatment the same day.

Rabies is present in Sri Lanka, and it is almost 100% preventable if treatment starts quickly after a bite or scratch. We keep anti-rabies vaccine in stock at the clinic, so you can start the course immediately — no need to travel to Colombo.

When to come in

As soon as possible after any bite or scratch from a dog, cat, monkey, or bat. Wash the wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes first, then come straight in — the earlier the first dose, the better. Open twenty-four hours a day.
