The World Health Organization's first worldwide strategy on snake bites seeks to halve the number of people killed or disabled by snakes by 2030.
Increased access to anti-venom and other treatments are among the measures included in the strategy, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
Every year, nearly 3 million people worldwide suffer bites by potentially poisonous snakes, causing as many as 138,000 deaths.

Snake bites are "a hidden epidemic," according to the agency.
