Snakebites are well-known medical emergencies in many parts of the world, especially in rural areas. Agricultural workers and children are the most affected. The incidence of snakebite mortality is particularly high in South-East Asia. Rational use of snake anti-venom can substantially reduce mortal...ity and morbidity due to snakebites. These guidelines are a revised and updated version of Regional Guidelines for the Management of snakebites published by the WHO Regional Office in South-East Asia in 2011. These guidelines aim to promote the rational management of snakebite cases in various health facilities where trained health functionaries and quality snake antivenom are available.

développement durable (ODD), qui vise à garantir l’accès universel aux services de santé de qualité
d’ici 2030. Les principaux responsables du ministère de la Santé du Bénin et des ex...perts de l’OMS
réunis en décembre 2015 dans le cadre du Forum national sur les objectifs du Millénaire pour le
développement (OMD) et l’internalisation des ODD ont évalué conjointement, et en toute
responsabilité, le niveau d’atteinte des OMD relatifs à la santé. Ils ont aussi internalisé les objectifs de
développement durable en se donnant pour mission d’accélérer la progression du Bénin vers la
couverture sanitaire universelle. La Stratégie de Coopération de l’OMS avec le Bénin, qui a tenu
compte des recommandations de cet important forum national, a retenu quatre priorités stratégiques,
ainsi que des domaines d’action et autres approches stratégiques qui guideront l’action de l’OMS au
Bénin.
