  • How the Medicines to Ukraine campaign became an effort to also help reduce Anti-microbial Resistance

    Wed 21st December 2022 The PDA

    An individual is injured on the frontline in Ukraine, and they reach over to their emergency packs which contain pain relief such as morphine, and medical tools. They are then given primary care by either the police, or military and triaged to evacuation hubs. The infection risk is unknown, the chances of having an infected wound at this point is unlikely. Moreover, as this individual is transferred between the different points of care, the cleanliness of transport vehicles and hubs are also unknown.
