Description
Lujaw Ratna Tuladhar and co-authors present a 2025 observational study of poisoning and overdose cases reaching one Nepali teaching hospital's emergency department. Such cases fill emergency rooms worldwide, but the local mix reflects local hazards: farm chemicals sit within easy reach, and wild honey carries its own toxin. The team charted nine months of cases in 2024.
They recorded who the patients were, what they took, whether the act was accidental or deliberate self-harm, and how each case ended. The point of the census is practical: stock the right antidotes, staff the right hours, and aim prevention at the agents and groups the data actually show.
