According to record 4-6 persons dies from snake bite...

Snakebites pose a critical public health challenge, particularly in tropical and rural regions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), someone dies from a snakebite every 4 to 6 minutes globally, leading to an annual death toll of 81,000 to 138,000 people. In addition to fatalities, up to 400,000 survivors suffer long-term consequences such as amputations, chronic pain, and psychological trauma.

The burden of snakebites falls heaviest on poor, rural communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, where healthcare infrastructure is often weak and antivenom is scarce or unaffordable. To address this, the WHO has classified **snakebite envenoming** as a neglected tropical disease, launching a global initiative aimed at cutting snakebite deaths and disabilities in half by 2030 through increased access to antivenom, better education, and improved medical care.
