Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease and presents a huge burden to the victims and healthcare systems. The victims of snakebites are mostly poor rural folks, farmers, and children.
Data from 2016 to 2020 was extracted from the DHIMS database. Data from 3 facilities were excluded as they probably looked more of an error, e.g. recording over 1,000 cases of snakebites in an age group for a single month.
DHIMS categorizes the age groups, they were further collapsed into fewer groups for easy presentation. The re-categorization is arbitrary and does not represent any scientific process
