The use of a digital decision support tool decreased antibiotic prescriptions to children by substantial margins, with no effect on clinical outcomes, in a large cluster randomized trial in Tanzania, a paper published in @NatureMedicine reports. https://t.co/jZd05PzOay

📱 Swiss TPH & partners developed a new clinical decision support algorithm for the care of pediatric outpatients in LMIs.

The process and lessons learnt were published in @PLOSDigiHealth

Bad dream last night. Woke up thinking we live in a world that wants to vaccinate 12-year-olds against #COVID19 before healthcare workers and the elderly. Imagine...

Happy to see @Fredros_Inc and @ifakarahealth Institute getting the credit they deserve for their important work! #malaria

Mosquito City is home to the world’s largest captive colony of mosquitoes. @IfakaraHealth Institute is doing fascinating research there about mosquito behaviors and finding ways to outsmart them. https://t.co/p3r11gMqdn

Study finds that 80% of children with acute respiratory infections receive antibiotics. Emphasizing the need for better diagnostics and tools for health care workers in LMIC

[Swiss TPH @SwissTPH]

Children in LMICs receive an average of 25 antibiotic prescriptions during first five years of life, potentially harming ability to fight pathogens & increasing antibiotic resistance worldwide, according to a new study from @SwissTPH & @HarvardChanSPH 💊👉https://t.co/GpTx73ukKK

[Fredros Okumu @Fredros_Inc]

We can learn alot from the #Tanzania system. Today nearly 90% of people live within 10km of a health facility. And many more health facilities are coming. I believe this is an example many countries can learn from. Improving health and wellbeing

[Rainer Tan @DrRainerTan]

The burden of antibacterial resistant infections is comparable to that of HIV/AIDS, TB and Influenza combined. #AMRCourse2019

[Rainer Tan @DrRainerTan]

Can you hear us @JNJcares? Cut the price of bedaquiline to a dollar a day. Help end the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people with TB who don’t have access to this lifesaving medicine: https://t.co/LgzsaGHvRH

Strong primary health care is the foundation and future of #HealthforAll.

New @LancetGH research shows that by investing an additional $US 200 billion a year on #PHC in low-and middle-income countries, 60 million lives could be saved by 2030: https://t.co/U8hHGQ1MLa

Very excited to be on this beautiful journey to Ifakara to meet with the @ifakarahealth team!
