Maharashtra has declared snakebite a notifiable disease, making it mandatory to report every suspected, probable and confirmed case and death. Government and private hospitals, medical colleges and practitioners must report through the Health Management Information System (HMIS) and the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP), including the bite date and place, patient age and gender, envenomation symptoms and the quantity of Anti-Snake Venom given. The State recorded about 1.29 lakh cases and 655 deaths between April 2023 and March 2026. The move followed the deaths of three tribal schoolgirls from snakebite in Gadchiroli on 9 August 2026.
