@msf.ca continue to fight #cholera in #Yemen

In 2024, the country faced over 250,000 suspected cholera cases and 861 associated deaths. The threat continues in 2025.

This preventable disease should not cost lives!

In Maiduguri, #Nigeria, #AMR sepsis is killing children with #malnutrition

@msf.ca is fighting back with IPC, AMS & D&S - but this crisis won't end without food security and holistic health programs

Urinary tract infections #UTI are a major health issue, especially for #women
While #AMR is rising, cases like this— 𝘌. 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪 fully susceptible to antibiotics—are becoming less frequent
Urgent action is needed to preserve effective treatments!

The Christmas cocktail no one wants:
22 Dec: Piperacillin/Tazobactam
26 Dec: Meropenem+Linezolid
28 Dec: Negative cultures→ Meropenem+Soltrim +Fluconazole

A nightmare—we need faster & better #diagnostics

750,000 #AMR deaths
