Project :
Snakebite represents a significant health issue all over the world, affecting millions of people each year with as many as 95,000 - 1,50,000 deaths reported worldwide.
India is considered to be one of the worst affected country in snakebite. Government policies related to compensation from snake bite is still not defined and there are no official records & survey of the incidents of snakebites reported countrywide. Further, lack of clarity and ignorance among people about the procedure to be adopted for addressing snakebites is widely prevalent.
Snake bite incidence with a more detailed survey of victims.
![Page 28: Nisarga vidnyan sanstha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021421/58eb612c1a28ab52078b466d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
We conducted a study within urban and rural villages of Thane District, Maharashtra, India and did household survey of 200 families effected by snakebite. During the said survey, we interacted personally with people inflicted with snakebite & their families to understand the health and socio-economic effects of the incident, the treatments obtained and their views about future improvements.
Our Survey highlights the following key points:
• Snakebite incidence is higher when compared to attack by other animals, like leopard etc.
• Majority of snake bite incidents go unreported • Medical aid/help from recognized medical centers is not defined
and up to standard.• The treatment budget varies from case to case and sometimes
cost may rise up to ₹25,000 also.
![Page 29: Nisarga vidnyan sanstha](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021421/58eb612c1a28ab52078b466d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The economic impact of incident on family of the victim could lead to situations like temporary loss of employment, coma, paralysis of limbs etc.
Our recommendations can be broadly classified into the following :
• Accessibility of anti venom and related vaccination in Government and Private Hospitals at affordable prices.
• Proper medical infrastructure in Government Hospitals.• Policy related to compensation for the victim & families.• Policy framework to record the incidents of snake bites.
