A recent report has called for radical action to stop drug-resistant malaria from spreading in Africa. Resistance levels to the critical drug artemisinin have soared in recent times, potentially putting millions of lives at risk.

BSAC’s response to the Covid-19 inquiry report: we'd like to see the key recommendations listed in this report enacted help improve our ability to detect, prevent, and manage #AMR effectively across diverse populations, especially the vulnerable in society.

Deadline extended until 24th July!! Don't miss this great opportunity to win up to £7,500 for your team to deliver a new youth-led campaign on #AMR.

"I don't think people realise how urgent this is….it's not something we often talk about because it's unpleasant and scary." Great article on how our sewage systems, rivers and oceans are a breeding ground for #AMR, and why action is desperately needed.

It's the last chance to register for our ever-popular OPAT Regional Workshops, with spaces available in London, Bristol and Newmarket later this year. Book your place today! https://lnkd.in/dXykE49n

Good news! BSAC’s global health initiative, Stop Superbugs, has successfully launched a small grant scheme, awarding funding to three projects in Uganda, Zambia, and Nigeria. This initiative aims to bolster grassroots projects dedicated to combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through education, communication, and improved sanitation within local communities.
