Snakebite First Aid & Safe Handling Workshop

Every year, there are an estimated 242,648 snakebite victims throughout ASEAN countries, with 15,909 dead and 954 amputated*.

The risk is real if there are dense bushes in the community or you work closely with snakes. Snake owners, I see you too :)

But snakebite is avoidable with the right knowledge, and treatable when prompt first aid for snakebite is administered before the ambulance arrives.
