Marsabit Boy, 16, Dies 3 Days After Snakebite as Health Centre Lacked Antivenom

A 16-year-old boy from Qonye village in Marsabit died at home after a snakebite, three days after the only nearby health facility turned him away because it had no antivenom to treat him. Barako Adano Barile, the eldest son in his family and a Grade 8 pupil preparing for his national exams, was herding his father's livestock on a Friday when a snake struck. He walked back home, told his family what had happened, and they rushed him to Bales Saru Health Centre, the nearest point of care.
