Job Description
Antimicrobials have been hailed as one of the most important discoveries in medical history as they have successfully treated many diseases promoting the health and well-being of individuals, the gains achieved through their use are now being threatened by development of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) through misuse and abuse of antimicrobials. Recent scientific observations have indicated a potentially 10 million deaths annually worldwide by 2050 due to AMR. The Biomedical Research and Training Institute (BRTI) with funding from Fleming Fund, supports to strengthen AMR surveillance to inform policy and practice at national and international levels in a One Health (OH) approach.
The One Health (OH) involves an Integrated AMR and antimicrobial use (AMU) and consumption surveillance in humans, livestock, and the environment to produce information that is interpreted by multi-sectoral teams to help understand factors associated with AMR emergence within and between sectors. This addresses laboratory infrastructure enhancement, human resource and surveillance systems strengthening, which include procurement and availing the relevant equipment, reagents and consumables recommended and needed by the MoHCC identified laboratories to produce the data evidence on the countries position on AMR. Zimbabwe is a recipient of the fund (2020-2025) to implement a national program- entitled, ‘’Addressing gaps in surveillance of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria in Zimbabwe’’.
