Great blog post from @LSHTM @JHenryC spotlights #FlemingFund Regional Grant #MAAP, led by @ASLM_News, the recently published study @LancetMicrobe on a 'critical assessment of #AMR detection capabilities ... while offering actionable recommendations' for #Africa.

#AMRSurveillance

[James Henry Cross @JHenryC]

Only 1% of clinical laboratories in 14 sub-Saharan African countries can conduct bacteriological testing - key to fighting AMR 🧫📈🔬

A recent Lancet Microbe study highlights urgent gaps in laboratory capacity and offers actionable solutions.

[James Henry Cross @JHenryC]

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

[LSHTM AMR Centre @LSHTM_AMR]

🗣️ 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!
