After my graduation from LSHTM, in addition to my clinical duties as a tropical medicine doctor, I have started to focus on hygiene and antimicrobial resistance in my city. We have established a non-profit organization to control AMR and infections using a One Health approach.
As our first project, we have done a pilot study to engage school children through fun, interactive educational activities which teach about hygiene, infection control and appropriate antibiotic use. We are planning to expand the program to the villages. At the same time, we also hope to implement infection control and antimicrobial stewardship activities in medical facilities in our town.
