We collaborated with a circus and NGO IN Cambodia on AMR academic.oup.com/inthealth/a…
An engaging performance that used comedy, acrobatics, music and dance, AMR Circus bridges arts & science to deliver a key #AMR message to young people in #Cambodia: “Don’t buy antibiotics over the counter. Instead, go to a health centre if you feel sick”.
