A Vijay Kumar, M Shivaramu, U Kumar

In biology, poisons are chemicals, which will cause death, injury, harm to organs, tissues, cells, and DNA, commonly by chemical reactions or other molecular activities. Poison control centers’ major purpose has always been to enhance poisoned patients' care and poison prevention. The requirement to complete this task necessitates the completion of several responsibilities and duties. Developing countries have many centers that are multifunctional and offer a wide range of toxicological information. However, the obstacles for poison control centers in underdeveloped nations remain treatment knowledge, formal training, laboratory service accessibility, and antidote supply. PCs will continue to play a significant part in the population's health protection in the future.
