Anti-snake venom scarce. It costs as much as N250, 000- Gombe snakebite hospital MD says


The Medical Director of the Snakebite Hospital and Research Centre in Kaltungo, Gombe State, Dr Nicholas Amani, says anti-snake venom is not only a scarce commodity in Nigeria but also in many parts of the world.


Amani stated this during an interview with Punch while reacting to the untimely de@th of aspiring singer, Ifunanya Nwangene, who reportedly d!ed after a snake bite in her Abuja apartment. She reportedly passed away after two hospitals she was rushed to after the bite turned her back over the unavailability of anti-snake venom.


Speaking on the challenge of snakebite management in Nigeria and globally, Amani said


‘’The truth is that anti-snake venom is a scarce commodity all around the world. The reason is that snake bite mainly affects the less privileged, farmers, and rural dwellers — people who do not really have a voice.


Everywhere we attend conferences and international meetings, it is the same issue, scarcity, scarcity. Ultimately, there are no free anti-snake venoms available. Most of them are now being sold by pharmacy vendors,” he said.


Amani noted that despite renewed attention to snakebite as a major public health challenge, even specialised hospitals currently lack adequate supplies of anti-snake venom.


“I want to make it very clear that even in specialised hospitals, we do not actually have anti-snake venom in our facilities currently. Efforts are being made by the government to make provision because this has now resurfaced as a major health challenge, but the process is still in the pipeline,” he explained.


Using Kaltungo as an example, the medical director said patients are often forced to source the life-saving drug from private vendors.


“Even in Kaltungo, what you find is that it is pharmacists and business people in town who are supplying the anti-venom. Patients have to go and buy from them. So the issue of scarcity is real” Amani said
