Science & Research

Up from September 2024 (with the first notification of cases to WHO on 28 September 2024), an outbreak of Marburg virus disease (MVD) emerged in Rwanda, East Africa, and it is now drawing to a close. This is due to a robust and well-coordinated public health response by Rwandan authorities, bolstered by strong South-South collaboration with partner countries across sub-Saharan Africa.

Education

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global crisis, especially in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where limited resources and unique challenges make the fight even more urgent. This course will equip delegates with the knowledge and practical skills to adapt AMS strategies to these specific settings. Learn from real-world examples, explore innovative solutions, and become a key player in global health efforts to combat AMR.

This course is part of the ESCMID AMS Certificate Programme.

The next module of the Adaptive Clinical Trial Designs course - Module 6: “Ethical and logistical considerations for adaptive trial designs” - will be available on 29 November 2024. The final module in this series describes some of the ethical, administrative, regulatory and legal challenges that one can encounter when planning and performing adaptive clinical trials. The speakers use their own experiences to advise on introducing adaptive designs to Ethics Review Committees and engaging trial sites in adaptive clinical trials.
