World Snake Day

New Delhi, July , 2025 – On the occasion of World Snake Day, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare issued an important public advisory, emphasizing that snakebite is a medical emergency and should never be taken lightly or handled with superstitions and traditional remedies. The ministry highlighted that when a person is bitten by a snake, it is not a time for fear or folklore. Instead, it’s critical to act quickly and rationally. The advisory urges the public to remain calm, move away from the snake, and proceed immediately to the nearest hospital for professional treatment. “Do not waste time on home remedies or traditional practices like jhaad-phoonk (faith-based healing),” the advisory says. “Every second counts in a snakebite situation. The right action at the right time can save a life.” The campaign strongly advises against tying tight tourniquets, cutting the wound, or attempting to suck out the venom—common myths that can worsen the victim’s condition. Instead, it recommends keeping the patient calm, immobilizing the affected limb, and seeking medical help without delay. The message is clear: public awareness today can prevent fatalities tomorrow. Through posters and visual infographics, the ministry reminds citizens that reaching a hospital quickly is far more effective than any alternative remedies. India reports thousands of snakebite cases annually, many of which could be prevented or better managed with timely medical intervention. The Health Ministry’s message reinforces that awareness and quick response are the keys to survival. By spreading accurate information and dispelling dangerous myths, this campaign seeks to turn every citizen into a potential lifesaver. Your awareness today could be the reason someone lives tomorrow.
