Interesting work! If we want to translate AMR national/global strategies into the real-world we need more funding for this type of context-specific, implementation research…

#PharmaPollution is a marine issue as well as a freshwater one 😔. On way home from #EurOcean2023...great talks Marica Mezzelani from #Pharmasea and Bruno Gonzalez Zorn (who made #AMR fun?!). Honoured to share the panel with Niall McDonough, Tainá Garcia da Fonseca & Nenad Gligoric 😊

Great work! With so much effort going into reducing antimicrobial usage, it’s crazy to think that inefficient use and inappropriate disposal is still commonplace…hopefully this report will help boost action here 🙏😁
