Antibiotic resistance is nothing new, but it has increased to such an extent that it is now undermining modern medicine. People around the world are developing bacterial infections which no longer respond to existing antibiotics.
I am excited to announce that applications for #FutureLeadersAgainstAMR open today! This virtual programme will aim to support students and early-career professionals to become leaders in AMR work.

#AMR#globalhealth
While we focus on COVID, HIV & NCDs, we tend to forget that Antimicrobial Resistance is yet another pandemic that will make it harder to manage all the above. Let's unite and curb AMR or we will never win any other pandemic. AMR can affect everyone. Let's protect our future.
The JKUSMA Whitecoat Ceremony will be happening on Friday, 5th November at the Assembly Hall from 2PM. Dr. Were Onyino @WereOnyino from @KenyaMedics_KMA will be our Chief Guest. Stay tuned for more info...

As we age our body makes less or produces no collagen necessary for strong and healthy skin. The skin loses its elasticity major cause for wrinkles and rough skin.
What you eat can significantly affect the health and aging of your skin.
Random thoughts: The 1st time I heard the term #AntibioticResistance, I freaked out. It was like some foreign language I'd never heard!
But the more time I had to learn about #AMR, the more I felt empowered to help manage an uncontrollable infection.
I just needed the basics.
Have you ever imagined how the world would be if all #antibiotics became ineffective?
In episode 3 of #"KnowSomethingaboutAMR" we describe the pre-antibiotic era, discovery of antibiotics and share dangers of a post-antibiotic era.

Random thoughts: We talk about the silent pandemic of #AntimicrobialResistance like it crept up on us. This issue has been an urgent threat for a while. Its not silent its here right now loud and clear, we have just turned a deaf ear to it. It hasn't got the attention it deserves
“In an era of #AMR, it is critical that patients receive the right antibiotic at the right time with the least harm to present and future patients. This is what we call #antibiotic stewardship in a nutshell.” https://t.co/aZphEGDWn6 @NIHR_CH_MIC@belgianimpi#AMS#StopSuperbugs
