In 2014, as part of the Global Health Security Agenda, Ethiopia was provided technical and financial resources needed to prioritize antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in national public health sphere. Under direction a multi-stakeholder working group, AMR surveillance launched July 2017 at 4 sentinel sites across country. The initiative represents one first systematic efforts prospectively collect, analyze, report national-level microbiology results from network hospitals laboratories Baseline...

Background: Considering the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), Ethiopia implemented strategies to combat AMR, including partnering with American Society for Microbiology (ASM) conduct an AMR training program using Project ECHO learning platform. was used virtually connect subject-matter experts participating sentinel laboratories in remote locations provide ongoing education, telementoring, and foster peer-to-peer problem-solving microbiology. In phase 1, ASM had primary leadership...

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a global health threat. Training laboratory technicians to accurately identify and report AMR is critical in low- middle-income countries (LMICs) control the spread of AMR. Ethiopia Kenya implemented telementoring program, ECHO AMR, via Project learning platform improve technician capacity isolate, identify, organisms; perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST); develop community learning. Between January 2018 2022, biweekly 1-hour...

Background: In July 2017, recognizing the threat that antimicrobial resistance poses to population, Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) launched Ethiopia AMR Surveillance Network at 4 sentinel laboratories. Simultaneously, laboratory capacity building was initiated ensure reporting of quality data surveillance system. One initiative, Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) used virtually connect subject matter experts with participating laboratories in remote settings...
