Our education and outreach programme for antimicrobial researchers would be nothing without the generous, voluntary contributions of countless leading experts.

Thank you!

Just my thoughts: Research is not only needed for life-threatening conditions but also for less critical ones. Carrying and feeding one or more children takes years of our lives, and even non-critical conditions cause suffering over such a timeframe. Would we ask men to just accept that?

Excited to learn more in this session! More research including pregnant and breastfeeding women is urgently needed.

A little sad that I have totally missed the first ever #WorldPPHDay but great to see that there is action!

I was very unlucky to almost "manage" to die from PPH in a rich country like Switzerland, but I was SO lucky to have access to all care, tools, knowledge and medicines needed to keep me alive.

More people in Switzerland can give blood from February The criteria for blood donations in Switzerland will be relaxed from February 1.

This post is brought to you by: BLOOD 🩸

As I am nearing the 4th anniversary of almost dying from #postpartumhaemorrhage, I am thrilled to see that blood donation criteria in Switzerland will change from 1 Feb, allowing more people to become donors. I hope to be one of them soon!
