Kashmore Floods Trigger Surge in Snake Bite Cases; Hospitals Struggle With Anti-venom Shortage

Naushahro Feroze, September 24 – Independent Report

Flood-affected areas in Kashmore, especially Mahmud Channa village, are witnessing a worrying rise in snake bite incidents. Residents Abdul Waheed and Bashir Ahmed, forced to move to higher ground due to Indus River floods, were bitten by snakes.

Upon reaching Sagyon Hospital, victims faced a severe shortage of anti-venom, a critical life-saving medicine. They were compelled to purchase the snake bite treatment from a private pharmacy, highlighting gaps in emergency healthcare services in flood-hit regions.

Local authorities have reported six snake bite cases in the aftermath of recent floods. Community members have criticized the government for failing to provide adequate medical resources and urged swift action to prevent further casualties.

The situation underscores the need for flood disaster preparedness, including medical supplies, anti-venom availability, and awareness campaigns to ensure public safety in vulnerable areas.
