Snakebite is not only a medical emergency. It is a journey shaped by distance, time, trust, access, and the realities of health systems on the ground. This webinar invites innovators to understand what happens from the moment a person is bitten to the moment they receive care, and what gets in the way. Through expert insight and patient journey mapping, participants will explore the clinical, community, and logistical barriers that influence outcomes. The webinar will help participants think about solutions that respond to real needs across prevention, diagnosis, emergency response, treatment, and recovery.
