4/ At CHRF, we are excited to apply these insights to promote responsible antibiotic use and strengthen infection prevention and control in Bangladesh — advancing the global fight against AMR.

3/ The course concluded at Eh!Woza, a community and public engagement organization in South Africa, highlighting the importance of community engagement in tackling AMR and understanding the cultural factors that shape health-seeking behaviors.

2/ Held at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, the week-long program gathered professionals and students from around the world to exchange knowledge on tackling AMR. Participants explored antibiotic stewardship, outbreak investigation, effective AMR communication and infection prevention and control.

8/ Every child deserves the right to breathe freely — and together, we can make that possible. Let’s build a future where no child dies from a preventable disease.

7/ Our goal is simple: to raise awareness about pneumonia and chronic respiratory diseases, and to remind everyone that timely vaccination, exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, responsible antibiotic use, and a smoke-free environment can make a life-saving difference.

6/ During the, Professor Samir K. Saha, Executive Director of CHRF, called on everyone to unite and work together to solve Bangladesh’s health challenges highlighting the power of community action in saving children’s lives.

5/ A special scientific seminar was jointly organized by CHRF and BSHI, where renowned pediatricians and scientists from across the country shared their experiences and research findings on pneumonia prevention and treatment in the context of Bangladesh.

4/ At BSHI and Kumudini Women's Medical College and Hospital , photo exhibitions were organized showcasing the real-life experiences of individuals affected by respiratory diseases — a powerful reminder of the human stories behind the data.

3/ To mark the day, awareness camps were set up at Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute (BSHI), Kumudini Women's Medical College and Hospital, and Dr. MR Khan Shishu Hospital & Institute of Child Health to raise awareness and educate the public on preventive practices and measures.

2/ Every child deserves a healthy start in life. Yet in Bangladesh, pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of death among children under five, claiming around 24,000 young lives each year.

2/ Here’s a glimpse of behind the scenes at CHRF, where our scientists and clinicians are working tirelessly to sequence and analyze samples, uncovering the genetic clues behind diseases that bring us closer to better diagnosis, improved treatment, and a healthier future for all!

5/ We’re truly grateful to have been part of such an inspiring platform — sharing research, connecting with brilliant minds, and exploring new ways to collaborate for a healthier future for children everywhere!

4/ During the E-Poster presentation, Ms. Pushpita shared insights from CHRF's research on the genomic epidemiology of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 2, highlighting how genomic data can help track and understand the spread of this pathogen.

3/ The event was packed with interactive sessions, symposiums, plenaries, and E-Poster presentations, covering topics from neonatal and respiratory infections to global health challenges and emerging public health threats.

2/ The congress provided a platform for experts to exchange knowledge, discuss challenges, and explore solutions in pediatric infectious diseases, reflecting WSPID’s mission to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases in low- and middle-income countries.

4/ In her latest blog, Atiya reflects on this journey and shares how she embraced her role as “the mediator,” helping others connect with science in simple, creative, and human ways.

3/ She developed a genuine curiosity about how data can truly save lives and a growing passion for science communication as a way to bridge the gap between research and people.

2/ When Atiya first joined CHRF, stepping into the world of research felt both exciting and unfamiliar. But as she learned more about our work, something unexpected happened.
