Great to be at the @LSHTM_AMR #AMRDataSymposium today. Critical issue is the alarming lack of AMR data from the most vulnerable— admitted small and sick newborns in high-burden settings. Closing this gap is essential to tackling #AMR, #outbreaks & improving #neonatal mortality
🗣️ Kicking off the #AMRDataSymposium with opening remarks from our Co-Directors, @gmknght & @DrKatHolt , as they set the stage for a day of discussions on the power of data in combating #AMR.
Stay tuned for valuable insights!
Our new @GlobalHealthBMJ paper highlights the urgent need for affordable, accurate diagnostics to tackle neonatal sepsis in LMICs. Early detection can save lives, reduce antibiotic overuse, and help fight AMR. Read: gh.bmj.com/content/9/9/e0158… #GlobalHealth #NeonatalSepsis #AMR"
