Today, the world marks International Snakebite Awareness Day. Thousands of Kenyans are affected by snakebite each year, resulting in preventable deaths and lifelong disabilities. The Ministry of Health reaffirms its commitment to prevention, correct first aid and timely access to appropriate care.
Prevent. Act Right. Seek Care Early.
