Ambassador of the Argentine Republic to the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, His Excellency Dr. Felipe Alejandro Gardella, yesterday called on Minister of Foreign Affairs, Karen Cummings, to discuss the ongoing Triangular Cooperation Health Development project on “Strengthening National and Regional Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Detection and Surveillance in CARICOM Member States”.
The Foreign Minister and Ambassador were joined by National Tuberculosis (TB) Programme Manager, Dr. Jeetendra Mohanlall.
The two-year project is a collaboration between South-South and Triangular Cooperation Fund of Argentina (FOAR), the Pan-American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) and Caribbean Community (CARICOM). It seeks to strengthen regional AMR detection and surveillance in CARICOM Member States; establish national programmes of quality control in matters of antimicrobial resistance; strengthen the availability of information among health professionals regarding the prescription of antimicrobials; generate and train officials to use a Caribbean database, and to enhance knowledge of the application of standardized laboratory procedures.
As part of the project, Argentine Advanced Microbiologist Specialist and National PAHO Consultant on Antimicrobial Resistance, Dr. Genara Thomas, will train Guyanese medical personnel from September 25 to 27, 2019.
Furthermore, the project will contribute to implementation of the WHO Global Antimicrobial Surveillance System (GLASS) as part of a global effort to monitor the burden of disease and impact of interventions related to AMR. It will also support surveillance and research to strengthen the evidence base and help inform decision-making to drive national, regional, and global action.
