Global Snake Bite Initiative

A modest, unassuming couple in Swaziland are reaching out with their hearts and hands to help the victims of snake bite in rural Swaziland.

Mduduzi Gcina is a 4 year old boy.

On the 16th December, 2008 he was bitten on both arms whilst sleeping (time to be confirmed but was told it was 10am). The wound is typical of a Mozambique spitting cobra bite. His mother took him to a clinic in the area but was referred to a hospital in Nhlangano on the 17th as they were unable to assist. On arrival in Nhlangano they were once again referred to Mbabane government hospital (main government hospital in Swaziland) as they could also not assist. He arrived there on the 18th December.
