Positioning snakebite envenoming as a national public health priority in Zambia

Résumé fourni par la source

Snakebite envenoming is one of the world's most neglected tropical health conditions, disproportionately affecting poor rural communities whose livelihoods depend on farming, livestock keeping, and other outdoor occupations. Despite causing substantial mortality, disability, and socioeconomic hardship, snakebite remains largely invisible in national health agendas across much of sub-Saharan Africa. In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a global strategy aiming to halve snakebite-related deaths and disability by 2030, recognising snakebite envenoming as a major yet under-addressed public health challenge.
