Patterns of antivenom administration among snakebite patients in selected Zambian hospitals: a retrospective multi-facility review

2026-08-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Snakebite envenoming remains a major but neglected public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, where access to antivenom is often limited and unevenly distributed. In Zambia, evidence on facility-level determinants of antivenom use is scarce. This study examined factors associated with antivenom administration among snakebite patients in selected health facilities. <h4>Methods</h4> A retrosp...
