Overcoming the snakebite challenge in Sudan: a call to action.
Snakebite envenomation is a neglected tropical disease that affects millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa, including Sudan. The severity of snakebite envenomation ranges from mild to severe, and can even lead to death. Sudan has a high burden of snakebite envenomation, with an estimated 12 632 cases and a mortality rate of 2.5% per year. The country faces several challenges in addressing snakebite envenomation, including a weak health system, limited access to healthcare facilities and a shortage of antivenom. This article highlights the challenges facing snakebite control in Sudan and provides recommendations for reducing the burden of this neglected tropical disease.
