While prioritizing first steps [High level advocacies & funding] remains vital
The @WASH_FOR_HEALTH Global Report reflects that countries are at different stages of WASHFIT implementation
Strengthening systemic monitoring of routine HF Self-assessments is also key
and we can
DevAxle retweeted
Great meeting altogether!
So much to unpack [more than I can expound here]
• Insightful initiatives by @AfDB_Group
• More opportunities for partnerships @DebjotyMukherje
• I hope private sector service expansion would aid #PHCs WASH realities

Just before midnight, I took 7 minutes to listen [& read] though this piece.
I'm glad the Jan-22 webinar gave deep insights on WASHFIT progress + impact.
Let's keep innovative to strengthen Country capacities to "systemically" track sustenance.

This report is timely & crucial.
• IPC is of critical import esp. in context of PHC
• A reason why the recent appointment of Dr. @ltsague as Inaugural Director @AfricaCDC Centre for PHC holds promise for the region to leverage key reforms as #WASHFIT and amplify.
@DevAxle_
📢 New WHO report: Investing in infection prevention & control (IPC) and #WASH saves lives and strengthens health systems. Most health care-acquired infections, including AMR, are preventable. Action & investment are urgently needed.

So much was unpacked in the 1st webinar centered around "Regulation"
• From achievements through the @amcowafrica ASPG [which participants across global regions identified as key/needful/welcome]
• To innovations in urban sanitation services
Webinar2 is one to look forward to

His words made me reflect, I'd give some perspective:
• See, my generation grew up knowing pre-packaged malaria medicines as a norm, but;
• WHO TDR IR MOOC would clearly explain the journey to that in a humbling way
We truly must not fail them
@TDRnews @DrBenido
A warm welcome home to #Nigeria by a beautiful young lady. I asked her her name, and she confidently replied..."Chimamanda".
We will not fail you her. Tomorrow, we start pushing.
...and we agree.
...and further,
"Ownership" hinges on strong "awareness & prioritization" by communities (individuals+ leaders)
We laud & encourage all AMR gov. programs + dev. partners invested into sensitization efforts
...we must keep building forward

“If communities take ownership of the AMR response that’s when we make progress, that’s when the funds will come” Excellent contribution made by our National AMR TWG Co-Chair Prof Junaid at our ongoing AMR TWG meeting. linkedin.com/posts/tochi-okw…

Quite a session earlier today: It was informative + motivating to see so much work being done by global, regional and national stakeholders.
...work that's ultimately changing the narrative at sub-national levels, & onto grassroots.
Let's keep amplifying these wins.

Thanks so much for all the efforts put into producing these tools & guides which help bridge gaps in many health systems - and at different tiers.

Brings back memories.
It's definitely a model that'd advance @WHO's new research agenda for AMR in human health
@BruceGordon_WSH
I can remember the Team binge-worked to modify the mammoTool in record time at request of a partner that deployed the mammoTool for NTD MDAs...
Brilliant,
Reminds of our work supporting an AMR Project's MDA coordination back in mid-2022
We were called upon to modify the mammoTool -with success
Today, we encourage stakeholders to power massive AMR-WASH research through data collection avenues as MDAs
We can collaborate
WHO's new Research Agenda for AMR in Human Health includes two WASH priorities:
1️⃣ Evaluating the impact of safely managed WASH in communities on AMR.
2️⃣ Assessing WASH interventions in health care settings to prevent resistant infections.

We built the ORMCET to manage massive opportunistic case finding via the same model
