Mark your calendars for the first interdisciplinary #summerschool on #snakebite envenoming!
We are happy to announce that we are hosting a summer school with Dr. Ulrich Kuch and Maik Damm which is supported by the German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA). More information will follow soon!

#GoodNews: We're happy to have secured two #hospitalpartnerships! With our hospital partners in Neno, Malawi, and in Wa, Ghana, we look forward to establishing clinical snakebite databases and local guidelines, as well as organising trainings on #snakebite management.

We're very pleased to continue our activities in Lao PDR as part of our #hospitalpartnership with Setthatirath Hospital on #snakebite . Recently our research group leader Dr Jörg Blessmann was in Vientiane for training on the management of snakebite envenoming. #NTDs #globalhealth

We were happy to be part of the "Snack & Talk about #NTDs" event tonight at the Erika-Haus at the UKE Hamburg!
Thanks to the organisers, the other panelists and especially to all the attendees for their interest and their comments and questions. #WorldNTDDay #Snakebite

Our new #ResearchHighlight is the first-ever paper on #snakebite envenoming in #Malawi publ. in @PLOSNTDs! @mosesbandaaron & al. provide first data on #epidemiology & found insufficient knowledge about snakebites among healthcare workers in Neno District.http://bit.ly/3jiJgGY

Today is #WorldNTDday! According to the World Health Organisation, #NTDs affect over 1 billion people worldwide. #Snakebite envenoming is the only non-infectious NTD. Every year, around 5 million people are bitten by #snakes, of whom about 2 million are envenomed and up to 138,000 die as a result.

Next Monday on #WorldNTDDay we will attend the "Snack & Talk about #NTDs" event to talk about #snakebite envenoming. If you are in Hamburg, come join us! You can find the details in the link below #beatNTDs #globalhealth https://www.bnitm.de/en/news/veranstaltungen/world-ntd-day-2023
