In this episode, we learn about the importance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and how to combat this growing global health threat.

Vanessa Carter holds the esteemed titles of Antimicrobial Resistance Patient Survivor, Founder and Executive Director of The AMR Narrative, and Chair of the WHO Taskforce of AMR Survivors.

After a car accident required ten years of facial reconstruction, three of which were spent fighting resistant infections, such as MRSA, Osteomyelitis (bone infection) and surgical site infections, Vanessa emerged with a facial disfigurement and the challenge of learning about what it meant to live with Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).

Hear about Vanessa's journey to advocacy and the challenges facing us with antimicrobial resistance.
