The Provincial Health Office (PHO) with the Provincial Government of Abra (PGA) conducts a one-day rabies health summit at the Provincial Capitol Social Hall. The summit was attended by representatives from OPAg, OPVet, and PNP, APH doctors, rural health unit doctors and nurses, and barangay captains from the 27 municipalities of Abra on July 17, 2018.
