Two powerful earthquakes have devastated #Myanmar, disrupting health services and putting thousands at risk. @who.int is responding at its highest level of emergency activation, but urgently needs $8 million to deliver life-saving trauma care and prevent disease outbreaks.

🚨 The fight against #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) starts with a well-equipped health workforce! 🏥💡
