Benue Assembly Passes Bill for Free Snakebite Treatment








原文原文 / Original Text

The Benue State House of Assembly has passed a bill providing free treatment for snakebite victims in government hospitals across the state.

The bill was passed Friday during plenary after scaling through its third reading.

The sitting was presided over by the Speaker, Berger Alfred Emberga.

The passage followed a public hearing held earlier where stakeholders in the health sector highlighted the importance of making snakebite treatment accessible to victims, particularly farmers and rural dwellers.

Chairman of the House Standing Committee on Health and Human Services, Dr Matthew Damkor, representing Tiev State Constituency, while speaking on the bill, noted that snakebite remained a serious but often neglected public health challenge in rural communities.

Damkor said the law would remove financial barriers that prevent victims from seeking prompt medical attention and provide a structured response to snakebite incidents.
