📢 First National Antimicrobial Resistance Symposium – A Step Toward a Healthier Future!
What is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)?
AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, and fungi evolve to withstand the medicines used to treat infections, turning easily treatable illnesses into complex, high-risk conditions. This phenomenon is a global health crisis that affects everyone, especially in resource-limited countries like Sudan.
🦠 Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): A Global Health Crisis We Can’t Ignore 🦠
Imagine if simple surgeries, mild infections, or even childbirth became life-threatening because treatments no longer work. Pathogens have become increasingly resistant, creating major challenges in treatment. Today, AMR already causes more than 1.27 million deaths annually, and without immediate action, this could skyrocket to 10 million by 2050.
As part of the Knocking Out AMR initiative with the UK’s Microbiology Society, we're organizing a national symposium to coincide with World Antimicrobial Awareness Week. This event will explore the critical challenges of AMR and practical solutions tailored for countries like ours.
Symposium Topics:
1. AMR Fundamentals:
Understand how antimicrobial resistance develops and why it's critical to public health.
2. Causes and Public Health Impact of AMR:
Explore the drivers of AMR, from antibiotic misuse to infection control issues, and its effects on healthcare systems, especially in Sudan.
3. The One Health Approach: A United Front Against AMR Discover how human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected in the fight against AMR. This session will cover practical steps each sector can take and provide guidance on antibiotic stewardship, emphasizing how individuals and communities can play a role in tackling AMR.
4. Sudanese Research and Case Studies in AMR Control:
Review recent surveillance data from Sudan, along with research and case studies that highlight effective strategies.
5. Machine Learning and Bioinformatics in AMR:
Dive into the role of machine learning and bioinformatics in AMR research, with insights into how these technologies drive data-driven solutions for AMR management.
Why Does AMR Matter?
AMR threatens public health, agriculture, and the economy. Immediate action is essential to combat its effects.
How Can We Help?
▶️Join us at the symposium to learn from experts and be part of the solution!
This symposium offers a unique chance to connect with leaders in the field, explore the latest AMR research, and gain practical knowledge in advanced technologies like machine learning and bioinformatics. By joining, you’ll also earn a certificate of participation from the UK Microbiology Society, a credential that enhances your resume and underscores your commitment to addressing one of today’s most pressing health challenges!
📅 Dates: November 22–24, 2024
