"Each year antimicrobial resistance – the ability of microbes to survive agents
designed to kill them – claims more lives than malaria and HIV/Aids combined.
Africa bears the brunt of this development, which thrives on inequality and
poverty. Nadine Dreyer asked Tom Nyirenda, a research scientist with over 27
years’ experience in infectious diseases, what health organisations on the
continent are doing to fight this threat to medical progress."
