#AntimicrobialResistance Patient Advocate • Chair @WHO Taskforce of AMR Survivors • @AfricaCDC Civil Society Champion • Founder of @theAMRnarrative

[Vanessa Carter AMR 🇬🇧🇿🇦 @VCarterAMR]

Today, I was privileged to share my lived experience of #AMR at the #WHA77 & talk about the work we have already achieved with the @WHO Task Force of AMR Survivors since its inaugural meeting in October 2023

Patients, carers & survivors help to demonstrate the real-world impact of one of the greatest challenges of our time. Let's do everything in our power to listen & create meaningful, people-centered solutions

Thank you @DrTedros
for including me to this important round table

We have a trivia question for you.

We want to know how you handle antibiotics and your knowledge of responsible #antibioticuse

If you were in this situation, what would you do?
Let us know in the comments.

Together, we can protect the effectiveness of life-saving medicines for generations to come. The fight against AMR is everyone’s responsibility!

Bhakti Chavan and @MSF are our #AMRChampions!

She went through rounds of #AntibioticTherapy to no avail as she had drug-resistant TB until MSF stepped in with a new drug.

She chose to share her story so people can know more about this threat, and that's no small feat

#AMR is not just a common cold that takes longer to resolve.

It can mean:
• Surgical failure
• Chemotherapy failure
• Higher hospital bills
• Longer hospital stays
• Losing a loved one

@VCarterAMR is a living testimony to the devastating reality of antimicrobial resistance

[The Foundation to Prevent Antibiotic Resistance @ResResistance]

@LawalOluku is our champion for this week!

He was a victim of a health system that misdiagnosed him, leading him to take multiple antibiotics for what was supposed to be a UTI.

Now, he is a member of the @WHO AMR Taskforce of Survivors!

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Everyone who sets out on a journey deserves to arrive safely.

Yet every minute, more than two people lose their lives on the world’s roads.

My friend @JeanTodt and I have arrived in New York for the UN High Level Meeting on #RoadSafety with one message for world leaders: invest in safer road systems now. Lives depend on it

[The Foundation to Prevent Antibiotic Resistance @ResResistance]

@VCarterAMR @theAMRnarrative @WHO @AmrInsights @AntibioticsThe @NHS We totally agree
More work needs to be done in the surveillance and research area

[Vanessa Carter AMR 🇬🇧🇿🇦 @VCarterAMR]

@ResResistance @theAMRnarrative @WHO @AmrInsights @AntibioticsThe I have a large, paper-based medical record tucked away in my drawer at home. Half of which hasn't documented my MRSA journey in South Africa. To make it worse, I moved to the UK & the @NHS has no clue, unless I speak up. Surveillance does need patient input & a complete #EHR

[DUCIT BLUE SOLUTIONS @Ducit_Blue]

Data alone doesn't improve healthcare; better decisions do.

The strongest health systems don't just collect data; they use evidence to identify risks, improve processes, and deliver safer, higher-quality care.

How has data informed a key decision in your organisation?
