Introduction: The Ministry of Health's goal is to reduce the number of human deaths from rabies to zero by 2020. Community awareness and responsible behaviour of pet owners are key factors to achieve this goal. Knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) regarding rabies has been reported only from the Kandy district. We describe a preliminary survey among outpatients in Colombo, to supplement existing knowledge.
