Abstrakt: Snakebite envenoming (SBE) is a neglected tropical disease that disproportionately affects underprivileged communities in the Tropics. India is particularly affected by SBE, with an estimated 58,000 deaths each year. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has designated the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) as a Collaborating Centre of Excellence (CCoE) for snakebite. The CCoE aims to generate evidence, coordinate research, and serve as a knowledge partner for the prevention and control of SBE. The CCoE will address various aspects of SBE, including anti-snake venom, venom research, healthcare system and delivery, policy advocacy, research, preventive measures, and a one-health approach. The challenges ahead include bringing stakeholders together and contextualizing information for diverse needs. The funding for the CCoE will be project-based, and the CCoE will align its activities with the WHO's goal of reducing SBE mortality by 50% by 2030. [Extracted from the article]
