📣World AMR Awareness Week continues!

We are resharing our infographics on the three ways of transmission for infectious diseases — because stopping transmission is key to stopping antimicrobial resistance🛑🦠

Prevention protects everyone!

Meet Cheelo Mwiinga, a SUPPORT fellow.

Her work focuses on how prolonged respiratory infections affect the survival of children with HIV after a hospital stay.

Did you know children with HIV can carry viruses like RSV for longer?

Understanding this could be a game-changer!
