Snakebite Health Literacy

Snakebite Health Literacy Campaign — Under Dr. Parajuli’s Leadership

In a community-focused initiative led by Dr. Surya B. Parajuli, our Snakebite Health Literacy Campaign reached high-risk and underserved populations across Nepal to raise awareness about snakebite prevention, first aid, and life-saving practices. Through field outreach, educational sessions, and local engagement, we empowered communities with essential knowledge on avoiding snake habitats, recognizing warning signs, and responding correctly in case of a bite.

 

Our campaign strongly emphasized eliminating harmful myths, promoting evidence-based first aid, and encouraging immediate medical care rather than traditional practices. This initiative reflects our unwavering commitment to community safety, public health education, and saving lives — because informed action during a snakebite can mean the difference between life and death.
