"You can never do something for us without us" A vital message for all working in Global Health from @ThandoNjamela
The people we are here to serve should be at the heart of everything we do!
Incredibly inspiring and powerful initiatives. Thank you @ehwoza @CAMO_Net1! 🙏 #AMR
Antimicrobial resistance is a major health threat for everyone. But we still have a long way to go to fully understand it and develop effective interventions.
Community-based knowledge is essential to achieving this.

For over a decade, #ISARIC has been generating clinically meaningful research for a variety of infectious disease threats. Thanks to funding from @wellcometrust, @FCDOGovUK, and @gatesfoundation, ISARIC will be able to increase the quality and impact of clinical research.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of our greatest global health challenges.
But gaps in the data mean it can be difficult to understand the true scale of the threat.
Our latest explainer video, featuring @DrKambugu and @PaulTurnerMicro, has all you need to know ⤵️ #WAAW2024
This week is World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week and we'll be sharing lots about the work we are doing to #StopSuperbugs 🦠💊

The latest GRAM Paper, recently published in The Lancet, provides the most comprehensive analysis of bacterial AMR trends over time and forecasts the future burden of AMR deaths.
Join our online event this afternoon (9 October) to hear more about the work from an expert panel!👇
New data from the GRAM paper shows that #AMR can contribute to deaths of 39m people from 2025-50. Time for urgent and decisive #ActionOnAMR is now.

Implementing the new #SEDRILIMS in a microbiology laboratory from Sierra Leone. The system is free, easy to use and can be customised by the users for their specific needs and tests. Also makes statistics so much easier.
💊Is this an antibiotic or a painkiller?
Accurate recognition of medicines is vital for safe and proper use but different medicines can look alike, and the same medicines can look different, so it’s not always easy!
Here's a potential solution to help identify antibiotics 👇

Honoured to be invited to speak at last week's celebration of CAMO-Net.
A truly unique global partnership, focused on research equity, that will deliver great advancements in optimising antimicrobial use.

@Wellcome_AMR @wellcometrust #AMR
And Chibuzor Uchea, Research Manager in Drug Resistant Infections @wellcometrust expressed the urgent need to address AMR and how proud he is to support CAMO-Net.
Chibuzor Uchea retweeted
Infectious diseases account for a quarter of all global deaths.
We need better vaccines, tests and drugs to reduce this burden. But the global research and development (R&D) system isn’t delivering them.
That’s why we’re calling for reform ⤵️
