Jepngok Kiptui was just three when she was bitten by a snake while sleeping in her bed at home in Baringo County, North-Western Kenya. It took more than five hours to get her to the county’s main referral hospital, after being referred from two hospitals that lacked the capacity to treat her. Little Cheptui had to undergo three surgeries: the first to remove the dead tissues killed by the snake’s venom, and two skin grafting surgeries. Photograph by Paul Odongo

South Africa can and must demand better deals for drug clinical trials — lives depend on it

Because of superstition, people in South Sudan put dead snakes in trees after killing them, as they believe they may otherwise come back to life. But one of the most common snakes, the Puff Adder is never killed, as it veneered for religious reasons.
