Learn about the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Bangladesh and how vaccines can help address this growing public health challenge. Hear from Dr. Wasif Ali Khan of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b) as he discusses the burden of AMR in Bangladesh at the community, healthcare, and national levels, and why resistant infections are becoming increasingly difficult and costly to treat. Dr. Khan explains how vaccines can help prevent infections, reduce antibiotic use, and slow the spread of resistant bacteria. He highlights how strong immunization efforts in Bangladesh have helped nearly eliminate neonatal tetanus and eradicate polio, while also improving child health outcomes and reducing illnesses that often result in antibiotic use. The discussion draws on evidence and recommendations from the Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP)-Bangladesh policy brief. GARP is an OHT-led initiative working with local partners to provide context-specific evidence and policy recommendations on leveraging vaccines to help address AMR across Africa and Asia. 🎥 Watch the video to learn more.
