Colistin, a 'last-line' human antibiotic, was still used in #Nepal🇳🇵’s poultry sector despite its ban. Evidence-based advocacy, backed by farm-level data @FlemingFund, closed the gap between policy & practice ─ reducing AMR through a #OneHealth approach.

[Rwanda Biomedical Centre @RBCRwanda]

RBC hosted the close-out event of the @FlemingFund project, that strengthened antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance across human and animal health sectors in #Rwanda.

Key achievements include:

✅Reporting #AMR data to global platforms (GLASS, InFarm)
✅Procurement of essential lab reagents
✅Refurbishment of 3 bacteriology labs

DG @CMuvunyi reaffirmed RBC’s commitment to sustaining AMR efforts beyond the project.

[The Fleming Fund @FlemingFund]

🧑‍💼👩‍🔬 Tackling #AMR requires in‑country, diverse expertise. Through the #FlemingFund #Fellowships, professionals gain the skills to become leaders — influencing policy, driving health reforms and strengthening national AMR responses.

[SciDev.Net @SciDevNet]

Only 14% of antibiotics in development are designed for children under five, and 17 countries in sub-Saharan Africa have none available from major pharma companies. As AMR rises, experts warn young patients may be left behind.
