Methodology: This is a systemic electronic database review accomplished by searching randomly selected databases including: PubMed central, Google scholar, Science direct and Medline and others. Data concerning Sudan was selected and written in a narrative descriptive format. Findings: The data collected was written in a narrative descriptive style including the classification of venomous snakes with specific reference to the magnitude of the problem in Sudan and a reflection on the global magnitude of the problem. Unique contribution to theory, policy, and practice: Snakebite is considered one of the neglected tropical diseases in the tropical and subtropical regions including Sudan, the heart of Africa. The significance of this problem is related to the fact that the snakebite in Sudan is sometimes sadly fatal and affects the young farmers and herders impacting the agricultural economy which is the backbone of the economy of the country.
