Down here the best I suppose would be Tygerberg, but seeing as many guys have medical aid, the Netcare, or Medi clinic groups is a better option, but considerably more expensive.
Ive been in contact with the medi clinic around the corner from me and have dropped off a protocol. The lady that contacted me was rather interested, as she said they have only had 1 snakebite in the last 7 years, and NONE of the staff has any experience in Snakebite identification or treatment. She said the bite case they had cost R10 000 per "unit" of AV, which doesnt sound right
please correct me if Im wrong. Also, any of you that have had exerience in getting Anti venom in an emergency please detail the process here. Specifically FAQ as well as contact details,
My main question to them would be how soon can they get sufficient (10 Amps) of polyvalent to a hospital in Cape Town.
