WHO Website To Prevent Snakebite Deaths
World Health Organisation (WHO) in an attempt to bring down the death rate, caused by snake bites, has launched a website to spread awareness.
The website hopes to cut the estimated 100,000 deaths caused annually, only by poisonous snakes.
The UN health agency said that the site has a database of approved anti-venoms to treat the 2.5 million people who suffer venomous bites each year.

"The regions that are most in need are sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and South-east Asia," said Ana Padilla, a snake venom expert at WHO.
