While traveling to Yumbe for my medical internship, one of my mentors told me how lucky I was to gain hands on experience managing neglected tropical diseases. ๐ค
On my very first night shift in the emergency unit, I treated a patient with a snakebite ๐. Something Iโd always thought was extremely rare. It turns out snakebites are far more common here than I ever imagined. On average, we see 4โ5 cases every week.
Iโm now looking for researchers and funding partners interested in collaborating on snakebite related work
