India has the biggest burden of deaths due to snakebites in the world, with most of the cases in rural India.
Avoidable Deaths Network (ADN) have set up a hub in an Odisha village to look into lifesaving solutions for snakebites.
ADN is a global membership network working on avoiding human deaths from natural hazards.
In 2015, India ratified the WHO’s Snakebite Envenoming Strategy for Prevention and Control, along with UN’ Sendai Framework for halving the deaths by 2030.
