ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS IN SELECT AFRICAN COUNTRIES REPORT
In 2017, a joint World Health Organisation (WHO) evaluation under the International Health Regulations (IHR) exposed critical gaps in Africa’s capacity to detect and monitor antimicrobial resistance (AMR), scoring the region just two out of five.

Alarmingly, one in five of these deaths were children under five. These figures highlight the urgent need to uncover the main drivers of AMR and assess how much stakeholders are invest Read MoreA new era for Africa’s leadership: driving health sovereignty, financing, and equity

This study conducted geostatistical modeling to map the prevalence of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) across Kenya, analyzing data from 146,668 children in 3,752 schools across 207 sub-counties collected in 2021 and 2024. The researchers found that hookworm prevalence was low overall (mean 0.6%), with only 6% of sub-counties exceeding the 2% threshold, primarily in coastal regions, while Trichuris trichiura showed higher prevalence (mean 1.4%) in southwestern and coastal areas, and Ascaris lumbricoides had the highest prevalence (mean 2.8%), clustering in western Kenya. Thes
