What happens if you get bitten by a snake?
Catherine Kapaira from Sangoramambo Village in Zimbabwe shares the story of her daughter, who was bitten by a snake.
Did you know, an estimated 5.4 million
snakebites occur each year? And 80k to140k deaths are reported annually due to snakebites?
Snakebite envenoming is a potentially life-threatening disease caused by the bite of a venomous snake. Envenoming can also be caused by having venom sprayed into the eyes by certain species of snakes that have the ability to spit venom as a defence measure.
Bites by venomous snakes can cause severe paralysis that may prevent breathing, cause bleeding disorders that can lead to fatal haemorrhage and cause irreversible kidney failure and severe local tissue destruction that can cause permanent disability and limb amputation.
Children may suffer more severe effects and can experience the effects more quickly than adults. Most deaths and serious consequences from snake bites can be prevented by making safe and effective antivenoms more widely available and accessible, and raising awareness on primary prevention among communities and health workers.
Snakebite envenoming is one of a group of preventable and treatable diseases called neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that affect about 1.65 billion people around the world. NTDs cause immeasurable suffering. They debilitate, disfigure and can be fatal. By most commonly affecting some of the most vulnerable people in the world - who often live in remote communities - NTDs create cycles of poverty and cost developing nations billions of dollars every year.
Efforts to tackle NTDs are a global health success story, but the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is threatening hard-fought progress. Concerted action and financing for NTDs is needed if we are to reach the targets of the WHO 2030 NTD road map and safeguard the hard-won gains of the past decades. Ending NTDs is possible within our lifetime - now is the moment for leaders to invest and make commitments through signing the Kigali Declaration on NTDs. Funding to tackle NTDs is one of the best investments in global health. To prepare effectively for future pandemics, health systems need to be strong and responsive to the health needs of their populations. NTD programmes strengthen institutions and catalyse lasting transformations in health systems. The eradication of NTDs is a global public good whose benefits are universal.

Thanks... Together we will beatNTDs. Great event!
It was a great event. 3 of my questions were answered. Kudos. We must #BeatNTDs
Why nobody likes you??
Well, these kind of wonderful feats are possible in capitalism. In socialism there's no aspirin...My thanks for all organizations involved. I'm from Brazil and I've seen these diseases from a close distance. The funny thing is that a lot of our people see these companies as "capitalist opressors monsters" thanks to our leftist mindset. I will spread information about this important joint effort.
Great work!
