Abstract

Zoo-WIN is a pioneering digital platform launched by the Government of India to address the critical public health threats of rabies and snakebite envenomation. Developed by NCDC with UNDP support, it enables real-time tracking of anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) and anti-snake venom (ASV) stocks, ensuring equitable distribution, especially in underserved regions. Aligned with NAPRE and NAPSE, Zoo-WIN strengthens surveillance, supports data-driven planning, empowers primary care facilities, and fosters One Health collaboration. Its transformative potential lies in bridging urban-rural disparities, enhancing public awareness, and optimizing response to zoonotic threats. Zoo-WIN marks a significant leap in digital health innovation for zoonosis prevention in India.
