   Snakebite has been called the most neglected of tropical diseases, with more than people killed or maimed by snakebites every year worldwide. Many of these tragic outcomes could be averted with effective antivenom use, yet it is estimated that less than 5% of patients receive lifesaving treatment. ASF is on a mission to reverse those tragic statistics through a combination of innovative research, clinical medicine, and education-based public health initiatives.An international team of snakebite treatment experts including Dr. Jean-Philippe Chippaux, a physician-scientist at the French Institute of Research for Development (IRD) and Pasteur Institute; Dr. Leslie Boyer, founding Director of the VIPER Institute; Dr. Ben Abo, medical director of the elite Venom One and Venom Two emergency response teams; and other leading researchers in herpetology, venomics, and public health from around the world has joined forces to create Asclepius Snakebite Foundation (ASF), an international non-profit organization dedicated to reducing the incidence of death and disability caused by snakebite envenoming worldwide. The foundation’s name is inspired by the Greek god of medicine, whose snake-coiled staff has long been associated with the medical profession.
