Snakebite in Bangladesh: A Hidden Public Health Concern
Snakebite is a critical public health issue in Bangladesh,
particularly affecting the rural population. With a
significant number of snake species inhabiting
agricultural lands, the risk of snakebites is high,
particularly during the monsoon season when snakes
are more active. Despite being a largely preventable
health crisis, snakebites lead to thousands of deaths
and countless injuries each year, revealing a gap in
public awareness, healthcare access, and medical
resources.
