ISNTD CONNECT ONLINE MEETING
The current state of snakebite care in Kenya, Uganda and Zambia: healthcare workers’ perspectives and knowledge, and health facilities’ treatment capacity
Annually, nearly three million people are bitten by snakes worldwide, often leading to death or amputation. For many victims, rapid medical help and anti-venoms themselves remain inaccessible or expensive - snakebite is one of the world's biggest hidden health crisis. In this ISNTD Connect webinar, Gaby Ooms (Research Manager, Health Action International) and Benjamin Waldmann (Snakebite Project Manager, Health Action International) will speak about recent research outlining the current state of snakebite care in Kenya, Uganda and Zambia, focusing on healthcare workers’ perspectives and knowledge, and health facilities’ treatment capacity.
