World Health Day 2026: You’re Not As Healthy As You Think—Here’s Why
WHO Website To Prevent Snakebite Deaths
World Health Organisation (WHO) in an attempt to bring down the death rate, caused by snake bites, has launched a website to spread awareness.
The website hopes to cut the estimated 100,000 deaths caused annually, only by poisonous snakes.
The UN health agency said that the site has a database of approved anti-venoms to treat the 2.5 million people who suffer venomous bites each year.
