Snakebite Envenoming Crisis

Snakebite envenoming is recognized by the World Health Organization as a significant neglected tropical disease, affecting millions globally. Each year, an estimated 1.8 to 2.7 million envenomations occur, leading to tens of thousands of deaths, particularly in rural and impoverished regions. The staggering underreporting of these incidents highlights the urgent need for improved access to antivenom therapies and public health infrastructure.
