Fresh off the press!
Qualitative study documenting the perceptions and practices of rural & tribal communities regarding snakebites. Also documents the cultural beliefs and myths, proposes two actionable frameworks for SBE control @DrRahulGajbhiye @icmr_nsp

[ICMR National Snakebite Project @icmr_nsp]

Way to go @DHFWKA . A role model for all the high snakebite burden states in India.
It is a great start! It will strengthen the NAP-SE in India

IEC distribution for medical officers, frontline health workers & affected communities in Shahapur block, Thane. A milestone in realizing ICMR National Snakebite Project's vision to reduce snakebite cases & deaths in Maharashtra & Odisha. Kudos! @DrRahulGajbhiye @drhrishikesh17

[ICMR-NIRWoH @icmrnirwoh]

Going the distance! IEC distribution in Shahapur, Thane. Efforts to control snakebites would be fruitful only if we include the last person in this mission. Pics from PHCs Kasara & Vasind, GP Aatgaon, Bhatsanagar village & school Musaiwadi

What happens if the victim is not able to communicate the biting snake's name to the doctor due to a language barrier? We provide easy snake identification charts for healthcare facilities to facilitate the identification and further management (5/6)
