Mahosot Hospital and #LOMWRU are going blue for World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2022. Did you know that in 2019 nearly 5 million deaths worldwide were attributed to bacterial #AMR? Use antimicrobials wisely! World Health Organization (WHO) Food and Agriculture Organization #WAAW2022 #WAAW

Mahosot Hospital and #LOMWRU just finished giving 2 weeks training to provincial microbiology lab staff as part of the Lao PDR #FlemingFund country grant. To help combat #AMR quality surveillance data is needed, which requires trained lab staff and access to low cost consumables

Very successful first day and interesting discussions about the barriers to successful #AMR research. Amazing to finally meet the people we've been working with for the last 3 years. #LOMWRU #ACORN ACORN

Representatives from ACORN lab teams. Main discussion topics- -high cost of consumables and equipment for LMICs -supply chain issues- usually >6mths for consumables to arrive -short expiry dates for consumables -no maintenance plans in donor agreements -sustainability #AMR

Development and investment in functional microbiology LIMS is lacking, with most LIMS expensive with little IT support. #SEDRILIMS are working to develop a free LIMS that can be used in #LMICs and can also help with #AMR surveillance Paul Turner #ECCMID23

Cost-effective model analysis by Cherry Lim and colleagues showed maintaining an active microbiology lab is cost-saving and can improve patient outcomes and reduce costs #ECCMID2023
