📢 ICARS launches ICARS Africa in partnership with @Amref_Worldwide.

We’re excited to announce the establishment of #ICARSAfrica, our new regional presence hosted by Amref Health Africa in #Nairobi. Supported by @wellcometrust, this partnership will accelerate locally driven, evidence-based solutions to address antimicrobial resistance (hashtag#AMR) across the continent.

🌍 Africa faces one of the world’s highest AMR burdens, with AMR-associated deaths projected to reach 4.1 million annually in the region by 2050. With ICARS Africa, we’re strengthening our ability to work alongside countries to develop context-specific, sustainable interventions aligned with National AMR Action Plans.

“Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing threats to Africa’s health security. Across the continent, Amref Health Africa is working with governments, communities, and regional institutions to strengthen AMR surveillance, stewardship, and health workforce capacity. This partnership with ICARS presents a timely opportunity to expand our footprint by bringing together like-minded institutions committed to African-led and evidence-informed solutions that can curb the AMR threat and deliver better health outcomes for the communities most at risk.” – Dr Githinji Gitahi, Group CEO, Amref Health Africa.
“ICARS Africa provides an exciting opportunity to build on our existing work in the region. By establishing a dedicated regional presence, ICARS can deepen collaborations, enhance capacity, and open new doors for innovative and transformative projects that respond directly to Africa’s unique priorities in the fight against AMR.” – Dr Sujith J Chandy, Executive Director, ICARS.

📚Today’s #MondayRead is an ICARS-supported scoping review that maps the current evidence on interventions to reduce antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) in Latin America and the Caribbean.

🔬Using articles from PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS, and grey literature, the authors focused on reports on the implementation of AMR programmes, interventions, or policies aimed at tackling AMR that were published between January 2018 and December 2024.

🌍The findings demonstrate that most interventions are concentrated in the human health sector, with a major gap in #OneHealth research integrating animal, environmental, and human health. Beside the need of more rigorous evaluations that inform decision making and the need of a One Health network within the LAC region.

📋The results from this review will be used by the ICARS-supported project team to draft a priority list of future intervention and implementation areas to be prioritised in the region.
