MSF is trialling AI snake detection in South Sudan using a database of 380,000 pictures of snakes.

As many as 5.4 million people are bitten by snakes each year , of whom up to 2.7 million become seriously ill and 138,000 die from complications.

Identification is a difficult but crucial part of treatment to ensure rare and expensive antivenoms are only used when necessary.
