Project Title
Antimicrobial Resistance Global Surveillance (ARGOS)
Short Description
ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE GLOBAL SURVEILLANCE (ARGOS)
Long Description
Few countries in sub-Saharan Africa have implemented an antimicrobial surveillance system, there are important data gaps with regard to public health relevant bacteria. Project will support partner countries to establish blood culture diagnostic systems and necessary laboratory diagnosis in selected health facilities. Clinical and socio-demographical data are collected and summarized in a national surveillance system. Trainings are conducted in partner countries. Activities will be based on already established contacts within the ANDEMIA project (ANDEMIA = African Network for improved Diagnostics, Epidemiology and Management of Common Infectious Agents). Depending on the resources available, primary focus will be on the countries Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. Project could be extended to the Congo and Nigeria. South Africa will be a partner for South-South cooperations, a partially active national surveillance system exists. WHO-documents (WHO = World Health Organization) serve as templates in the development of surveillance systems.
