Join ReAct Latin America and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and many more partners in the region on Friday, November 22, as part of the World AMR Awareness Week 2024 celebrations, for a regional webinar highlighting inspiring activities from various countries under the Empowered Communities to Address Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) initiative. In this event we will explore how communities are actively contributing to the fight against AMR through education, advocacy and concrete actions. This is an excellent opportunity to learn from the Latin America region's efforts, exchange ideas and strengthen collaboration to address AMR.
Empowering communities means valuing and supporting their initiatives to contain AMR. Each community is unique, with its own priorities, times, resources, dynamics and contexts. However, they all feel enormously motivated when the value of their work is recognized. In this way, creativity and cooperation within and among us flourishes, and diversity is manifested, an indispensable attribute to address AMR from the Mother Earth-One Health approach.
Date: 22 November
Time: 9 -11 am ECT / 15-17 pm CET
