Vanessa Carter AMR 🇬🇧🇿🇦

Today, I was privileged to share my lived experience of #AMR at the #WHA77 & talk about the work we have already achieved with the @WHO Task Force of AMR Survivors since its inaugural meeting in October 2023 Patients, carers & survivors help to demonstrate the real-world impact of one of the greatest challenges of our time. Let's do everything in our power to listen & create meaningful, people-centered solutions Thank you @DrTedros for including me to this important round table Watch the recording here: youtube.com/live/YrO6lMsMb… #AMRsurvivors #AntimicrobialResistance

@VCarterAMR @WIICInnovate @theAMRnarrative @official_MUAC @OneHealthUofG @ResResistance @Ugveterinarians @zihiinstitute @reactgroup @MAAIF_Uganda @MinofHealthUG @OazisHealth @OfficialFUMSA We appreciate you for the work you're doing at @theAMRnarrative Indeed AMR is nolonger a silent pandemic it is here with us. Too loud no to be paid attention to.

@UYCAS256 @WIICInnovate @theAMRnarrative @official_MUAC @OneHealthUofG @ResResistance @Ugveterinarians @zihiinstitute @reactgroup @MAAIF_Uganda @MinofHealthUG @OazisHealth @OfficialFUMSA Thanks so much for the share, @UYCAS256. Absolutely — #AMR is a very real and loud pandemic that many patients and carers live through, not only during infection, but long afterwards as well. I think the issue is not that AMR is silent, but rather that it remains underheard.

"AMR is often described as a 'silent pandemic', but for those living with it, the experience is anything but silent." – @theAMRnarrative #PreventAMRTogether

Simple practice. Strong prevention! #AMR #antibioticresistance #antimicrobialresistance #prevention #infectiousdiseases #washyourhands

So pleased to represent a patient voice at this important event on 18 May at the House of Commons for #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #PatientAdvocacy

Today is #HandHygieneDay! Clean hands are one of the most effective ways to prevent infections and slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Every infection prevented is one less opportunity for resistance to develop. #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #theAMRnarrative
