War wounds caused by explosive weapons in Gaza: data from a 2024 study by Médecins Sans Frontières As of July 23, 2025, Israel's military assault on Gaza has killed over 59 219 Palestinians, wounded an additional 143 045, and displaced nearly all of the 2·1 million people who live there.1 Triangula...

What the spread of the “great replacement” conspiracy theory means for humanitarian aid As racialised narratives increasingly determine how and where NGOs can operate, humanitarians must embrace a more politically informed approach to their work.

#Neutrality doesn’t mean political silence

Humanitarian action must be rooted in political and historical awareness, not only technical aid

Closure of the Fleming Fund risks undermining UK leadership on AMR - The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy

Please don't let this be true: the UK government couldn't possibly consider cutting funding for one of the major organisations working in the field of treatment resistant bacteria...could they? Surely they wouldn't do something that short sighted...would they?

Estimated undertreatment of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections in eight low-income and middle-income countries: a modelling study Infections caused by CRGN bacteria are likely to be significantly undertreated in LMICs. To close this treatment gap, improved access to diagnostics and antibiotics, strengthening of health systems, a...

Less than 7% of people with severe infections in resource-limited settings get the antibiotics they need—leading to preventable deaths.

Improving equitable access to effective antibiotics must be a global priority.

Exactly—this isn't really a diagnosis, just a lab finding... That’s why the empiric treatment with soltrim, meropenem, and fluconazole was continued on this immunodepressed patient.

We’re still treating blindfolded, aren't we?

Thank you! I'll keep you posted!
