Downloading 🇲🇿 Mozambique Snakebite, Spiderbite & Scorpion Skills Workshop | SASS 2026
Proud to launch the Mozambique Snakebite, Spiderbite & Scorpion Skills Workshop, a South African Snakebite Symposium (SASS) outreach initiative, in support of the 1st International Emergency Medicine Symposium of Mozambique at the Southern Sun Hotel, Maputo.
As part of this initiative, we are sharing consensus-based clinical resources adapted to the medically significant venomous snakes of Mozambique, available in both English and Portuguese. These resources bring together expert recommendations with one shared purpose: practical, locally relevant education that supports clinicians and contributes to better patient outcomes.
This work has been made possible by an extraordinary group of people who have so generously given their time, expertise and knowledge.
A very special thank you to Dr Christoff Bell, Dr Sara Santos, Prof Tim Hardcastle, Jason Seale, Warren Schmidt and João Amaral for their invaluable expert input and recommendations.
To our extended faculty — Nicolas van der Walt, Professor Vidya Lalloo, Dr Sara Padidar, Dr Kurt Wibmer and Dr Edson de Noronha — and our support team — Debbie Mott, La’eeqa Kajee, Petrus van Vuuren, Dr Ayesha Hassim, Melanie Govinsamy, Neville Ganes, Ana Filipa Domingues, Samantha Cu***ng, Tyrone Ping and Dr Gianluca Zaffarano — thank you for standing behind this initiative and helping bring it to life.
And finally, our sincere gratitude to Dr Maria Augusta, Emergency Medicine Programme Director at Maputo Central Hospital, and her team for inviting us to support this landmark symposium. There is tremendous respect and admiration for the vision, leadership and courage it takes to advance emergency medicine education and build stronger systems of emergency care in Mozambique. 🇲🇿
