@LawalOluku is our champion for this week!
He was a victim of a health system that misdiagnosed him, leading him to take multiple antibiotics for what was supposed to be a UTI.
Now, he is a member of the @WHO AMR Taskforce of Survivors!

3 people will die every minute from AMR-related deaths between now and 2050.
These are not just numbers.
This is evidence of the threat AMR poses.
If nothing makes you want to take action, these numbers should.

What if religious leaders and faith-based organizations also lend a voice to the rise in #antibioticresistance?
Our #AMRChampion this week is the chairman of a Christian Health Association in Ghana who believes in the power of faith-based organizations in fighting this threat.

Bhakti Chavan and @MSF are our #AMRChampions!
She went through rounds of #AntibioticTherapy to no avail as she had drug-resistant TB until MSF stepped in with a new drug.
She chose to share her story so people can know more about this threat, and that's no small feat

Empirical therapy is good but in LMICs, it is a silent driver of antimicrobial resistance.
In this post, we explore how empirical therapy is doing more harm than good in LMICs especially in areas with limited resources for proper diagnosis.
It's a thread...

Today is Global Handwashing Day.
We know how important handwashing is to preventing #antimicrobialresistance or do we?👀
How does handwashing prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance?
100%Reduces antibiotics need
0%Breaks chain of spread
0%Replaced antibiotics
0%Others (state it)

Meet Dr @RipudamanMinhas, founder of Our Kids' Health Network and a 2025 grantee.
He is taking the communication and awareness route to tackle antimicrobial resistance and here's the approach he is taking👇

We have a trivia question for you.
We want to know how you handle antibiotics and your knowledge of responsible #antibioticuse
If you were in this situation, what would you do?
Let us know in the comments.

This is the kind of project we love to support as it cuts across age, gender and language barriers which is important in fighting #AntimicrobialResistance
What do you think of Ripu's project?

What if you could go behind the scenes, into the life of a resistant bacterium?
Well, you can't so we've done it for you so you see how simple, daily actions help facilitate resistance.

From inside the body, it gets isolated in the laboratory then what next?
This shows the trajectory of its life and how you help to spread resistance.
