Cultural Issues: What do we need to do in order to overcome cultural issues like traditional healers? How can we have peaceful coexistence between snakes and humans? Incredible presentations and great discussion from the panel. #UniteAgainstSnakebite

Dr. Erika Nowak talks about snakebite conservation, which is super important! Snakes are not the enemy and are necessary to the eco-system. #uniteagainstsnakebite

It’s not the rich that suffer from snakebite. It’s the food producers. The laborers. Those who keep the community running.
It’s these people who need your help the most. Spread the word. Donate. Host a viewing. Whatever you can do to stop snakebite, every bit helps.

HAI has been at the forefront of campaigning efforts to make #snakebite a priority on the #globalhealth agenda -- and Dutch funding made it happen. @MinBZ @Unite_snakebite @fightsnakebite

Raising awareness and knowledge about #snakebite prevention, first-aid and treatment in affected communities is crucial to prevent people from falling back on unproven and life-risking treatment methods. #fightsnakebite @Unite_snakebite
