“In addition to death (1.27 Million in 2019) and disability, AMR has significant economic costs. The World Bank estimates that AMR could result in US$ 1 trillion additional healthcare costs by 2050, and US$ 1 trillion to US$ 3.4 trillion gross domestic product (GDP) losses per year by 2030.” (WHO)

Define financial mechanisms, workforce development & system wide strategies for updating the Global Action Plan (GAP)on AMR

Looking forward to working on these updates and identifying critical gaps as well as progress made to date.

Great updates and plan for multisectorial response for a Global Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance focusing on a one health approach.

Develop Global, National & Regional AMR governance, coordination & collaboration.

Pandemic prevention needs good sepsis and antimicrobial resistance strategies embedded in policies and protocols to ensure better outcomes

The best way we can ensure that we provide good sepsis care even during a public health emergency, when we are operating in crisis mode, is to embed sepsis care into our pandemic preparedness plans.

A year ago, the idea of a human case of #H5N1 seemed almost unimaginable in the United States.

Today, we are witnessing a widespread outbreak in dairy herds, multiple human infections, and the virus’s presence in the food supply.

This situation is deeply concerning and requires urgent attention.

& ICYMI coz I did: #CDC slipped Delaware onto the list of states that found a probable human case. (CDC couldn't confirm.) Source unknown.

Louisiana detects first presumptive positive human case of H5N1 bird flu The Louisiana Department of Health said on Friday it has detected the first presumptive positive human case of H5N1 bird flu infection in the U.S. state.

Possible H5N1 bird flu case in Marin County child; source of infection unknown A second California child has tested positive for H5N1 bird flu in Marin County; confirmation is needed from the CDC.

Article from @latimes.com possible #H5N1 case in a 2nd California child.

@jennifernuzzo.bsky.social: "Given the proximity of this case to the last, it may be prudent to conduct a broader investigation, including a serologic study to check for other infections in the area"

Splash pads found in public parks linked to thousands of cases of waterborne diseases
Over “10,000 children became ill from 1997 to 2022 after using splash pads, and most of those outbreaks were attributed to cryptosporidium, a parasite that causes diarrhea and spreads through contaminated water.”
