Anyone presenting an abstract at ESCMID Global:

If you've been approached by a journal to publish that abstract (usually for a fee), you can say no thanks. As in 2024, CMI Comms will publish all abstracts #open-access for free

Our scientific society SEIMC publishes in @thelancet.bsky.social the burden of bacterial resistance across 130 hospitals in Spain in 2018-2023.

How will we face this urgent threat without an Infectious Diseases specialty in Spain @sanidad.gob.es?

Very sad to hear of US intent to withdraw from @who.int.

My lecture to @uofglasgow students today highlighted WHO’s critical role in facing global infection challenges, from supporting countries to build strong health & surveillance systems, to detecting & responding to health emergencies.

In 2021, #AntimicrobialResistance was responsible for 4.71M deaths. If we do not act, it will be the leading cause of global mortality by 2050.

To reduce the devastating consequences of #AMR, a holistic strategy with key interventions is needed.

Childhood vaccines are humanity’s greatest achievement. Not electric cars. Not satellite internet reaching the world. Not even rockets to Mars.

Undermining public trust in these vaccines is unconscionable.

Here's the full chart: A timeline of pandemics.

Historical knowledge of past pandemics is sparse. Pandemics with an unknown death toll are shown as triangles, while pandemics with an estimated death toll are shown as circles.
