Building Capacity to Save Lives: Trainings on Snakebite Management Expand to Dong Nai, Thua Thien Hue, and Dien Bien Provinces in VietnamEffective training gives healthcare workers the necessary knowledge and skills to properly diagnose, treat, and care for snakebite victims, especially in areas where snakebites are common. In addition to having antivenom available, having well-trained medical staff is vital for providing quick, life-saving treatments. This saves lives and reduces the long-term health effects of snakebites.
Following the success of the first training in Lam Dong, the comprehensive one-day training programme on “Clinical Management of Snakebite Envenoming” has extended its reach to three more provinces in Vietnam, namely Dong Nai, Thua Thien Hue, and Dien Bien. These events, organised by the Institute for Community Health Research (ICHR), Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM), featured Dr Nguyen Thi Thuy Ngan from Cho Ray Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.
Over two months, three trainings were conducted: On 28th of March 2024, the training in Dong Nai saw participation from 39 doctors and nurses across five provinces: Dong Nai, Dak Nong, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Tay Ninh, and Binh Phuoc. This training received support from the Dong Nai Center for Disease Control (CDC Dong Nai). On 22nd of May 2024, the training in Hue had 37 doctors and nurses from Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Phu Yen and Binh Dinh provinces. On 28th of May 2024, the training in Dien Bien attracted 28 participants from Lai Chau, Son La, Ha Giang, Yen Bai and Dien Bien provinces. The training received support from Dien Bien Provincial Hospital.
These trainings are part of the grant “Towards better health care for snakebite envenoming in Vietnam” which is funded by the Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung (EKFS).
