Interesting talk @TARGet_AMR conference by Dr @JGarciaIglesias on the importance of involving communities from the start when deploying genomic technologies. No assumptions should be made as these technologies can deepen or address inequality. #TARGetAMR26

📰Nigeria ranks 20th out of 204 countries for AMR death rates and now scientists at the IOI have found that flies in Nigerian hospitals may be spreading drug-resistant bacteria.

@KirstySands1 and @Chijev speak to @katlay at The Guardian.
