Sindh Leads in reported dog bite cases ~300,000 Dog Bites a Year Nationally—Nearly 35 Every Hour get bitten by a dog and then reported to a health establishment.

Pakistan’s health surveillance data shows ~300,000 reported dog bite cases in the past 12 months.

That translates to:
~25,000 per month
~800 per day
~35 every single hour
And this is likely still an underestimate.

Provincial Pattern
Sindh reports the highest number of cases by a clear margin
Followed by KP and Punjab
AJK reports the lowest
This raises a critical question:

Is Sindh facing a higher burden—or does it simply have better reporting and urban exposure (e.g., Karachi)?

Monthly Pattern (Not Really “Seasonal”)

The variation across months is striking:
Peaks of ~38,000 cases/month
Drops to ~18,000
Stability around 18–22K
Sudden dips to ~9,000
Spikes again to ~22,000
Latest point at ~6,000 (likely incomplete)
