A public safety notice circulating on social media says that all Hmedix outlets in Abuja now reportedly keep anti-venom for snakebite emergencies and operate around the clock.
The notice urges anyone who suffers a snakebite to proceed immediately to the nearest Hmedix outlet for urgent care, stressing that quick access to anti-venom is critical because delays can be life-threatening. It also asks readers to share the information to help save lives.
Health officials and emergency responders typically advise that victims of venomous bites receive professional medical assessment and treatment as soon as possible. While the social media post claims 24-hour anti-venom availability at Hmedix locations in Abuja, residents are advised to verify stock and hours by contacting their nearest Hmedix outlet or local health facility before travel.
If you or someone nearby is bitten by a snake, seek urgent medical attention immediately and follow guidance from trained healthcare providers.
