The DCE in response to the Medical Assistant (MA) of the St Luke Clinic who informed him of lack of Anti-snake bite when someone reports cases of snake bites to the facility and sometime leading to loss of life made a cash donation of GHS 2,000 to St Luke Clinic for the purchase of Anti snake bite drugs.


 The DCE indicated that most residents in the district are referred to Kete-Krachi or Kpandai for medical assistance on snake bites; hence victims lose their lives due to delay.


 The facility situated on the Chinderi-Borae road now has the anti-snake bite drugs to treat and avert unnecessary deaths from snake bite.

 Mr. Augustine Appiah said snake bite victims should make sure they receive treatment within 24hrs.
