On June 9, 2017 WHO categorized snakebite envenomation into the Category A of the Neglected Tropical Diseases. This new situation will allow access to new funding, paving the way for wider and deeper researches. It should also expand the accessibility of antivenoms. Let us hope that it also leads to cooperation among stakeholders, aiming at improving the management of snakebites in developing countries.
2017年6月9日，世界卫生组织将蛇咬伤中毒列入被忽视的热带病A类。这一新情况将有助于获得新的资金，为更广泛、更深入的研究铺平道路。它还应扩大抗蛇毒血清的可及性。让我们希望这也能促使利益相关者之间开展合作，目标是改善发展中国家蛇咬伤的管理。
