AMR Awareness Week (Day 5): MDR-TB, the existing anomolous AMR pandemic
The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) represents one of the most daunting challenges to disease control worldwide let alone to controlling AMR.
Drug-resistant TB is the only antimicrobial resistant infection that is airborne so is by any defnition the hardest AMR problem to contain.

Today is the second day of ‘World Antimicrobial Awareness Week’ and Moxafrica is publishing a series of blogs posts.
Antimicrobial Medicine Resistance is unquestionably a growing problem and indeed was endorsed as such by the World Health Organization (WHO) at the Sixty-Eighth World Health Assembly in May 2015. It's also no coincidence that the year before that, in 2014, the then UK prime minister David Cameron had commissioned a review regarding what he was being advised was a worrying global phenomenon. “If we fail to act,” he warned at the time, “we are looking at an almost unthinkable scenario where antibiotics no longer work and we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine.” His doom-laden warnings were undoubtedly being stoked by his then Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, who (since leaving office in 2019) has become the UK’s official ‘special envoy on AMR’.

Today is the first day of ‘World Antimicrobial Awareness Week’ and Moxafrica will be publishing a series of blogs during the week, intending to appropriately promote better awareness by discussing what this week is all about (and it's a complex and multi-facetted issue that demands much better public understanding). They plan to relate it to tuberculosis control at some point, but will also examine what can be done by politicians, global authorities, farmers, doctors and vets etc. and offer some advice about what people can do about it themselves.

Moxafrica is a British charity set up in 2008 to investigate the use of moxibustion therapy for the treatment of tuberculosis, particularly drug-resistant TB, in resource-poor environments.
Next week, they are going to the ‘Bellhaven Harm Reduction Centre’ in the centre of Durban, to come and introduce (and train, of course) their staff to moxa.

Do you suffer from Long COVID or know anyone who does?
As simple moxa therapy can fortify the immune system, and help suppress symptoms and speed up recovery from #tuberculosis, the good people of #Moxafrica are now conducting research to see if #moxibustion can be an effective treatment for #LongCovid.
