A MUST READ “It feels hopeless when the antibiotic you are taking doesn’t work. Many people lose their lives or become disabled because of antibiotic resistance.” https://t.co/TKLDFazDHl 🙏 @_FaceSA for sharing your 1st hand account of the human face of #AntibioticResistance
If you could see what we see, experience what we experience, & prevent it happening to you or your loved ones by getting a simple vaccination, you'd be there faster than you could say 'antivaxxer'. I am losing a patient today who has become a friend & it could have been prevented
Wouldn't normally promote material I've produced, but hoping that this will be disseminated as widely as possible through social media platforms to counteract antivax sentiments being distributed in South Africa https://t.co/g6Vy7EFEkb @UCTHealthSci@WesternCapeGov@PresidencyZA
Thrilled to share our collaborative #antibiotic stewardship study (https://t.co/FJySWaxpSQ ). Huge shout-out to the 63 front-line pharmacists in 39 public & private hospitals that stepped forward for > 45 weeks to co-create change together with other health professionals! @TheIHI
The increased use of antibiotics to combat the #COVID19 pandemic will strengthen bacterial resistance and ultimately lead to more deaths during the crisis and beyond, says the @WHO.

Really fascinating talk by @michellegijzel1 on #CRE metrics in private healthcare - different resistance strains in different areas across #SouthAfrica
Critical importance of measurement. Good example - @NCAS_Aus#NAPS identified that many of the severe infectious diseases / sepsis diagnoses being made at rural rather than city hospitals, with greater levels of inappropriateness in rural prescribing. #fidssa19#SAASP workshop
