#WAAW2022

La #RAM est l'une des principales causes de décès dans le monde, les risques étant les plus élevés dans les #LMIC. Il est donc nécessaire d'élargir les systèmes de collecte de données afin d'améliorer notre compréhension de cet important risque sanitaire mondial.

#WAAW2022

#AMR has become a leading cause of death globally, with the highest risks in #LMICs. To tackle the spread in these settings, we need to close the AMR data gaps and expand the data collection systems to improve our understanding of this important human health threat.
