The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene instituted 19 September as the International Snakebite Awareness Day in 2018 as an advocacy platform to raise awareness of the global medical and socioeconomic burden posed by snakebite. There has been significant progress in this domain in the past year:1. WHO launched its strategy to halve the global mortality (83 000–138 000 deaths per year) and morbidity (400 000 disabilities per year) of snakebite by 2030. 1, 2 The strategy comprises four primary objectives (Box 1), each with immediate, short-term and long-term objectives and funding requirements. The strategy clarifies that achieving this ambitious target requires the engagement, support and investment of key stakeholders, ranging from affected communities and civil society groups, antivenom manufacturers, science groups and their funding bodies to governments and international health agencies. WHO is best placed to establish the framework needed to coordinate these varied activities and harmonise their outputs.
