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.

This week, ASLM, with funding from the @FlemingFund, is conducting the #QWArS Microbiology Module 4 workshop in Cambodia, focusing on Microbial Identification (ID) and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST).
This training equips participants with the expertise needed to accurately identify, assess, and track antimicrobial resistance, strengthening laboratory capacity and AMR surveillance in the region.

We're proud to lead two @FlemingFund Regional Grants to:
1) Improve data sharing for global #AMR planning and advocacy
2) Expand the volume of historical and current data on AMR and antimicrobial usage
With our partners @PublicHealthSG @BrighamWomens @bdi_oxford
#WAAW2022
We support 22 countries across Africa and Asia to tackle #AMR, a leading 🌍 health threat.
Our portfolio of country grants, regional grants, and fellowship schemes is managed by our Management Agent, @MottMacDonald.

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.
🧑💼👩🔬 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.

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.
