Health systems in many countries where snakebites are endemic often lack the proper infrastructure and resources to collect robust statistical data on the problem.

At VenomAid, we believe that innovative diagnostics could help improve this.

Victims of snake bites in Kerio Valley, as a result of failure to receive emergency medical antivenom within an hour of snake bites (THE GOLDEN HOUR), end up dead, or suffer morbidity/lifetime paralysis. You can help us fight this trend.
