Great news for Bukidnon residents—especially those in snakebite-prone areas! The Provincial Government of Bukidnon is now providing Purified Antivenom absolutely FREE to help save lives and prevent serious complications from venomous snakebites.

If you or someone you know needs help, don’t wait—contact the nearest hospital immediately. Quick action can make all the difference.
What to do in case of a snakebite:
- Stay calm – Movement spreads venom faster.
- Immobilize the affected limb – Keep it below heart level.
- Do NOT cut the wound, suck the venom, or apply a tourniquet.
- Go to the nearest health facility immediately – Time is life!
- Inform the attending health worker so they can administer the Purified Antivenom without delay.
