Global Snakebite Crisis: Underfunding Hinders Progress Towards Reducing Fatalities
Annually, over 5.5 million snakebites occur globally, causing 100,000 deaths and 400,000 lasting disabilities, primarily impacting impoverished regions due to limited access to healthcare and antivenom; the WHO's 2017 initiative to halve deaths by 2030 is unlikely to be met due to insufficient fundi...
