World Health Organisation (WHO) in its report, introduced a new strategy to prevent and control snakebite envenoming, a neglected tropical disease which affects 1.8 to 2.7 million people every year and 81,000 to 1,38,000 people died. The objective of this strategy is to halve the numbers of deaths and cases of disability due to snake envenoming over the next 12 years.This new strategy unveiled by WHO was developed by a 28-member panel of global experts in consultation with WHO regional offices, the scientific and research community, health foundations, advocacy groups and other stakeholders.The impact of snake venom is very serious. It can cause paralysis that stops breathing, bleeding disorders, irreversible kidney failure and tissue damage that can cause permanent disability and limb loss.According to WHO reports, the most affected people with snakebites are living in the world’s tropical and poorest regions, and children are worse affected due to their smaller body size.
