Crisis as scarcity of anti-venom hits Nigeria: 6 died of snakebite daily; 250 die in last 3 weeks

NO fewer than 250 victims 
of snake bite have died in the last three weeks in Plateau and Gombe states, following scarcity of anti-venom drugs in the country.
The figure represents confirmed deaths from three snake treatment centres— General Hospital, Kaltungo; Ali Mega Pharmacy, Gombe, and Comprehensive Medical Centre, Zamko, Plateau State.
Visits to the three medical outfits show victims in critical conditions, with some of them left on bare floors, as the doctors said they were helpless without the anti-venom.
It was gathered that the snake anti-venom drugs— Echitab Plus ICP polyvalent and Echitab G monovalent— had not been supplied to the country since August, after the last vials were used up in the first week of October.
