International Snakebite Awareness Day
Each year on September 19th, the world observes International Snakebite Awareness Day—a crucial initiative aimed at raising awareness of the often-overlooked problem of snakebite injuries. Every four minutes, someone in the world dies from a venomous snakebite. Despite being a significant global health crisis, snakebite treatment remains under-discussed and underfunded, particularly in developing countries. This day serves as a reminder of the urgent need for action, education, and better resources to combat this preventable tragedy. Asclepius Snakebite Foundation is committed to improving outcomes and reducing the harms caused by snakebites.
