Guidelines for the Prevention and Clinical Management of Snakebite in Africa
recommended

World Health Organization World Health Organization WHO (2010) C_WHO

Snakebite is a neglected public health problem. Rural populations are frequent victims as they go about their daily food production and animal rearing activities and as they reside in the comfort of their homes. Unfortunatly, many of these snakebite cases go unreported and thus do not appear in offi ... cial epidemiological statistics. Health workers often have little or no formal training in the management of snakebite, and appropriate antivenom is rarelay available. The guidelines for the prevention and clinical management of snakebite in Africa have been developped by the World Health organization Regional Office of Africa with contributions from technical experts. They are meant to assist health workers to improve medical care for snakebite victims; they also serve as a source of information for the general public on issues related to snakes and snakebite. more
