Description

The Tamil Nadu government recently designated snakebite envenomation as a notifiable disease under the Tamil Nadu Public Health Act of 1939.

About Snakebite Envenomation

• Venomous snake bites induce a potentially fatal medical condition.

• It is a major health issue in rural and snake-endemic areas.

• It endangers vulnerable populations, such as agricultural laborers, children, and people living in tropical and subtropical regions. 

• Snake antivenoms are efficient treatments for preventing or reversing the majority of the negative effects of snakebite envenoming, and they are on the WHO list of essential medicines.

• The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified snakebite as a global public health concern and started a campaign to minimize snakebite-related fatalities and disability globally.

India’s Action Plan

• The National Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Snakebite Envenoming was published earlier this year by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

• The initiative intends to reduce snakebite deaths by half by 2030 using a 'One Health' approach that combines human, animal, and environmental health measures.

Advantages Of Notifiable Disease

• By making snakebite a notifiable ailment, the Tamil Nadu government hopes to improve data collecting, boost clinical infrastructure, and ensure efficient provision of anti-snake venom.

• This change is projected to result in better preventative methods, lower death rates, and improved treatment facilities throughout the state.

• The new regulation requires both government and private hospitals to report cases of snakebites and accompanying fatalities to the government.

• This required reporting system will be linked to the State's Integrated Health Information Platform through the Integrated Disease Surveillance Program.
