The more time I invest into understanding the problem of #snakebite the more I'm realising I know very little. The problem is very diverse with its roots embedded into the institutional gaps. This highlights the need for preventive measures which are often underfunded.

#Snakebites in the #Northeastern India are more neglected than rest of the country. With 15+ venomous #snakes living alongside of 50 million people, there is NO #ANTIVENOM ideal for the region. Learn more about the problem through our film 👉https://t.co/EW7CPNxABm

64,000+ annual deaths from snakebites in India!! How do we manage to turn a blind eye to a socioeconomic disease of this magnitude?
