Publication Snakebite in the Hills and Mountains of Nepal(Nepal Medical Association, 2022) Bogati, Sunil; Bhatt, Navin; Nepal, Shristi; Nepali, Prakash; Sharma, Sanjib KumarAbstract Snakebite is an important public health issue around the world. In Nepal, it affects a huge number of people mostly belonging to low-income households who are involved in agriculture. Although snakebite has a serious impact on the Terai population, a few studies suggest that snakebite also occurs frequently in hills and mountains. In the absence of sufficient studies related to snakebites in these geographical regions, it is tough to sketch a true picture and estimate the magnitude of snakebites in those areas. Because of this, the healthcare system is probably not prepared enough to handle the victims of snakebites. This demands a proper study of the burden of the issue in these regions and appropriate initiatives for addressing it.
