[WaterAid @wateraid]

Great to see so many people at @UKParliament last night to hear about ways clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene can stop the spread of drug-resistant infections 🦠 

Thank you for supporting #PreventionFirst - and to @ThatMould for the performance 🎵

Clean water, sanitation and hygiene can:

💊 decrease the demand for antibiotics
🔗 break the chain of infection
🦠 stop superbugs spreading

50% of world’s healthcare facilities have no access to clean water - leading to:

*spread of infectious diseases
*overuse of antibiotics
*rise of multidrug-resistant infections

Last week @BritainLeads showed the brilliant work of UK Aid in supporting @WaterAidWAfrica and @LivelyMinds to British MPs in Ghana 🇬🇭- we also met with local leaders and @UKinGhana 🇬🇧

Thank you to our partners, brilliant MP delegation, and the wonderful people we met 🌎 🤝

Water and sanitation are a major global crisis. I asked the Prime Minister whether he would reverse the Government’s 80% cuts to water and sanitation projects.

He didn’t answer so I’ll keep asking….

We've opened joint inquiry with WASH APPG & @WaterAidUK, looking at links between antibiotic resistance & lack of access to clean water, hygiene & sanitation facilities in healthcare centres across least developed countries. Respond here https://t.co/CHhL9NiRKy

[Anthony McDonnell🇺🇦 @apmcdonnell]

The UK should make Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) an essential component of its development aid. Glad to get the opportunity to give evidence to this important inquiry today, you can find
@katklemperer and my written submission here.https://t.co/kAjSihM6PQ

[Abigail Herron @AbigailHerron]

Thank you @APPGantibiotics and @APPGwater for inviting @avivainvestors to speak at the evidence session today alongside the fascinating midwife Pacharo Matchere @CHAMalawi, inspirational Prof Tim Walsh and deeply knowledgable @apmcdonnell. #amr #antibioticresistance #water

[RhianLewis @RhianLewis]

Great to speak to @UKAMREnvoy about links between WASH in healthcare settings globally & antibiotic resistance for @APPGantibiotics & @WASH_APPG inquiry

It's cheaper to prevent infection than to treat infection and WASH in healthcare facilities is central to this.
