ALT Antimicrobial resistance is a leading cause of death worldwide and e-Bug is ultimately about helping protect those antibiotics for future generations. The aspect I enjoy most of e-Bug is the collaboration with our international partners, local authorities and educators. Dr Brieze Read, e-Bug project manager

To protect health & support #breastfeeding, women need:
💟 Paid maternity leave - preferably 6+ months – in line with WHO recommendations for exclusive breastfeeding
