Huge thanks to @abcnews and @frankelly08 @RadioNational for highlighting the concerning findings of our study revealing high rates of AMR in children in our neighbouring Southeast Asian region abc.net.au/news/2023-10-3… @PaulTurnerMicro @gardp_amr @snelling_tom @rcduguid @bfrdickson
Great to see this important threat to human health & the burden of morbidity/ mortality it causes in kids receiving the attention it deserves- thanks coauthors& @smh @Sydney_ID @gardp_amr @PaulTurnerMicro @YueYw1 @snelling_tom @rcduguid @bfrdickson smh.com.au/national/nsw/n…
Exciting seminar today at the MRCG with @DrDanielNgamije, new @WHO Global Malaria Director, discussing the current #Malaria situation and vaccine updates globally. He shared insights on progress, challenges, and renewed hope for eradicating this deadly disease 🦟🛑
ACORN is expanding! The Philippine General Hospital in Manila will soon come online as a semi-independent member of the network, focussing on neonatal and paediatric infections. Great to meet the team for training this week! @Wellcome_AMR @MORUBKK
Dr Gayana Gunaratna doing an excellent job presenting our NeoSEAP data from Sri Lanka @ECCMID - rising burden of neonatal Acinetobacter spp. infections, correlations between antibiotic consumption and carbapenem resistance in neonates #ECCMID2023 🌍
Huge thank you to ISAC for this incredibly generous award to enable us to better understand the burden of pneumococcus in Sri Lanka, & optimise the management of respiratory infections in children.We are so looking forward to working with CSTH to launch this study 🇱🇰 👧 🧒 🩻 🧫

Busy but productive few days on the neonatal wards in Danang with the incredible team at WCH and PCTU for the #NeoSEAP project. World-leading locally-led kangaroo care programs making a big difference in reducing risk of #neonatalsepsis and protecting against #AMR 🇻🇳👶🧫🦠

Over half a million babies die every year from sepsis. It was such a privilege to work with so many child health experts to advocate for a strategy that can ensure every baby in the world who needs efficacious antibiotics can receive them 🦠 🧫 👶 🌍 💉 @gardp_amr #IDTwitter #AMR
Public health experts have proposed a strategy to prioritize the development of effective #antibiotics for newborns who are resistant to current treatments. See the “online first” version. This will be published in the WHO Bulletin in December. 👉bit.ly/3SuXZu1
Innovative work by @bfrdickson #jessemasson #myanmar vbdc @helenmayfield @Jan_FRL on antigen and antibody studies from two #filariasis surveys in #Myanmar @jcu @AITropHealthMed @CPHMVS_JCU @JCUMedDent
Our paper using Bayesian Networks to analyse Lymphatic Filariasis serology from Myanmar has just been published in @TropicalmedMDPI. It suggests benefit in adding antibody testing to post-MDA surveillance. mdpi.com/1688836

The midnight hours spent battling research paperwork all immediately worthwhile after finally escaping 🇦🇺 to join wards where dozens of babies are dying from #AMR.MDR Acinetobacter & Kleb ubiquitous.Enormous efforts from local clinicians;time for more global attn #neonatalsepsis
Very proud of my mum’s work building #Anganwadis in #Gujarat & #AndhraPradesh alongside @manavsadhna & @RDT_anantapur
Sydney based 'The Anganwadi Project' has been building anganwadis or rural childcare centres in 🇮🇳 since 2007. Their projects in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh have successfully combined modernity with sustainability to assist disadvantaged communities. indianlink.com.au/australia/meet…
