UNDERSTANDING THE SNAKEBITE CRISIS

A Global to Local Perspective

Snakebite envenomation is a critical but often neglected public health emergency, disproportionately affecting low-resource communities. Globally, snakebites claim the lives of an estimated 81,000 to 138,000 people each year, while 400,000 survivors suffer from permanent disabilities, disfigurement, or psychological trauma. Each year, 4.5 to 5.4 million people are bitten by snakes, and 1.8 to 2.7 million develop clinical illness.South Asia bears the highest burden, with India alone accounting for nearly 50% of global snakebite-related deaths. This grave situation stems from the wide diversity of venomous snakes, coupled with environmental and occupational exposure—particularly in rural, agrarian settings where access to timely medical care is limited.
