It is #WorldChildrensDay and #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek - a good time to reflect on the disproportionate impact of #AMR on children's rights to health, survival and development - 1 in 5 deaths from AMR is a child under 5 yrs #JT4AMR AfricanStudiesCentre The British Academy

Drug-resistant infections are a global problem. They’re a threat to our health, livelihoods, healthcare systems and national economies. However, the weight of this burden is not felt equally. Not even close. ⤵️🌍 [1/3]
