A long thread on snakebite- a neglected public health problem in India.

1/N
India has the highest number of deaths due to #snakebites in the world. Snakes bite, injure, or disable hundreds of thousands of people and kill close to 58 000 Indians each year.
2/N
Victims of snakebite often need ICU admission and access to ventilators and dialysis. Venomous snakebite is more expensive to treat than treating a heart attack or a stroke.
3/N
People living in villages are at risk of snakebite because their housing conditions are poor and inadequate lighting makes it easy for the snakes to access their living spaces. Open-style habitation, open defecation and the sleeping on the floor often expose people to bites.

பாம்பு கடியால் இந்தியாவில் ஒவ்வொரு ஆண்டும் 50,000 பேர் இறக்கிறார்கள். கடந்த ஆண்டு மட்டும் 52,000 பேர். அதாவது ஒவ்வொரு 10 நிமிடத்துக்கும் ஒருவர்.

எதனால் இது சரிசெய்யப்படாமல் இருக்கிறது? ஏனெனில் இதில் பெரும்பாலோனோர் ஏழைகள், விவசாயிகள்.
