World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2024: Educate, Advocate, and Take Action!
SEAOHUN is committed to taking action in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) during #WAAW2024.
We’re excited to showcase the powerful results and impactful findings from last year’s AMR projects, funded by USAID through the SEAOHUN One Health Research and Training (OHRT) Awards Program. Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing one project each day to highlight the dedicated efforts of faculty members and health professionals across Southeast Asia in combating AMR.
Insights from our SEAOHUN 2023 OHRT Award recipients on their impactful experiences addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Southeast Asia.
