‘Venom Express Thailand’ launched to transport snakes for antivenom

Thailand Post initiates 'Venom Express Thailand,' a pilot project in Chanthaburi, to establish a safe and systematic method for transporting venomous snakes to the Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute's Snake Farm.
This collaboration ensures a consistent supply of fresh venom, a crucial raw material for producing antivenom, addressing previous logistical challenges in obtaining diverse snake species and regional venoms.
The process involves trained volunteers securing snakes in specially designed, air-permeable boxes with combination locks, which are then transported by Thailand Post's network with real-time tracking, ensuring safety for all involved.
The project aims to enhance antivenom production capabilities, allowing the institute to develop more effective, region-specific treatments for snakebite victims across the country and plans for future expansion to cover more areas and species.
