✦AI Summary
Gujarat has initiated the production of region-specific anti-snake venom by supplying freeze-dried venom from four local snake species to a manufacturer. This project aims to improve snakebite treatment efficacy and reduce fatalities in the state.
Gujarat has moved a step closer to developing its first region-specific anti-snake venom after the Snake Research Institute (SRI) at Dharampur in Valsad district handed over lyophilised (freeze-dried) venom from the four medically important venomous snake species found in the State to a licensed manufacturer for production.
