New Delhi, 30th November 2023 – Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), identified as a ‘slow pandemic,’ is a critical global health threat requiring immediate attention. The three-day international colloquium, part of World AMR Awareness Week, Amrita Legion of Antimicrobial Resistance Management (ALARM) 2023, emphasized the urgency of awareness and collaborative efforts to combat this medical challenge. Organized by the Amrita School of Biotechnology at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri, the event addressed concerns about antimicrobial resistance in India’s healthcare, advocating a strategic approach to reduce dependence on these drugs.

“Misusing antibiotics fosters bacterial resistance, and the pharmaceutical industry’s inadequate emphasis on new antibiotics exacerbates this issue. In 2021, India reported 100,000 cases of antibiotic-resistant organisms, indicating pervasive resistance across diverse bacterial infections. Striking a delicate balance in antibiotic dosages is essential, recognizing that overuse significantly contributes to resistance. Our most effective tools in preserving antibiotic efficacy and safeguarding health lie in collective global efforts, innovative research, and responsible antibiotic stewardship,” said Dr. Bipin Nair, Dean & HOD, School of Biotechnology, Amrita University.

ALARM 2023 transcended traditional conference settings, providing a platform for multidisciplinary panels, experts, and policymakers. Specialized policy roundtables integrated AMR considerations into broader health and economic policies. The conference engaged the public through forums, town hall-style meetings, and storytelling sessions, translating complex scientific concepts into relatable narratives. Emphasizing the One Health concept, it acknowledged the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.

Dr. Ranga Reddy, President, Infection Control Academy of India, highlighted, “AMR poses a threat to diverse aspects of life, challenging the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Significant contributors to the rise of AMR include sectors such as agriculture and poultry. Vigilance and appropriate treatment are vital, considering risk factors like excessive antibiotic use, hospitalization, and chronic conditions. Tailored antibiotic therapy based on susceptibility testing becomes imperative, given limited treatment options. Embracing healthy aging involves maintaining overall health and safeguarding against communicable diseases through vaccination.”

Integral campaigns like the Blue Light campaign and WAAW campaign were recommended during AMR week to underscore the importance of awareness. Healthcare professionals play a crucial role in educating patients on antibiotic use, initiating stewardship programs, and advocating for policies supporting AMR control. Foundational practices include rational antibiotic prescribing, implementing infection control measures, public education on antibiotic use, and improving sanitation and hygiene. Essential strategies, such as enhancing surveillance systems, promoting antibiotic stewardship, investing in new antibiotic development, and fostering global collaboration, underline the necessity for centralized policies to counter antibiotic misuse and abuse across various sectors.

[Shenzhen, China, 30th November 2023: ] Huawei’s 2023 Sustainability Forum and its regional sessions concluded yesterday. Themed “Thriving Together with Tech: Realizing Sustainable Development,” the event involved five regional sessions in China, Italy, Ghana, Pakistan, and Brazil, where best sustainability practices from Huawei and its partners were demonstrated. Attendees from all over the world explored how digital infrastructure can better drive sustainable development and help build a greener and more inclusive intelligent world.

In Brazil, Huawei is working with local operator Veloso Net to deliver stable connectivity to over 30% of the unconnected population in the state of Amazonas. Huawei also announced plans to cooperate with the International Union for Nature Conservation (IUCN) to implement a Tech4Nature project, which will protect biodiversity while fostering the development of local communities.

Jeffrey Sachs, President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, Commissioner of the UN Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development, and Professor at Columbia University, delivered a keynote speech in which he discussed how global challenges are becoming increasingly complex. “We live in a period in which the challenges are getting greater and the need for breakthrough technologies, such as those Huawei brings us, is ever more urgent.”

Sachs listed three key objectives that require whole-of-society action: (1) making sure that every place in the world has at least basic prosperity; (2) promoting social inclusion so that all parts of society can achieve wellbeing, not just the rich or residents of cities; and (3) enjoying economic wellbeing while stopping environmental destruction.

Sachs also highlighted the vital role that digital technology has to play in achieving these objectives. “Technologies, at least potentially, can reach everybody in a society and can even reach the poorest people in the world, as long as they are near a base station, as long as they can get digital connectivity, and as long as they have a device,” Sachs continued. “Now, we need to deploy technologies, combined with financing, to enable these solutions to reach all parts of the world.”

Attendees emphasized that digital technology would help improve the resilience of both nature and humanity in the face of risks and challenges and drive sustainability. Jeffrey Zhou, Huawei President of ICT Marketing, noted: “Together with our partners, we are using the power of digital technology to drive digital inclusion and enable an inclusive and sustainable digital world.”

In Yunnan, China, improved connectivity enabled by Huawei’s 5G solutions has increased the efficiency of coffee farming and the quality of the beans. With digital infrastructure in place, e-commerce and video streaming have boomed, elevating the local coffee industry and making local coffee a prized brand among consumers.

In Italy, Huawei’s TECH4ALL Nature Guardian project, in partnership with WWF Italy, has deployed cloud- and AI-based acoustic monitoring systems at 16 eco-farms and traditional farms. The project found out that approximately 10% more species live within eco-farms than in traditional farms.

In Gokina, Pakistan, Huawei and its partners have brought connectivity to the local community, enabling telemedicine and distance education. Villagers in this remote village can now access quality medical services when they need them.

In Ghana, Huawei worked with partners to build the first floating hydro-solar hybrid plant in West Africa. The plant will fuel a cashew factory in the Bono Region and create employment for over 800 citizens including women.

The First Lady of the Republic of Ghana, Her Excellency Rebecca Akufo-Addo, appreciated Huawei’s contribution to the country’s sustainable development.

She said: “The world is going green and projects such as the hydro-solar hybrid plant show that Ghana is on the right path, towards the realization of a sustainable and eco-friendly digital future.”

“What I am hoping for is that Huawei’s tremendous capacity in 5G, in appliances, in systems design, in content and platforms can be harnessed with other large-scale programs,” said Sachs. “We need to make clear to the world that we have the solutions, that we have the mechanisms to put them in place at scale.”

On November 21, Huawei also announced that it has already brought connectivity to 90 million people in remote areas across the globe, as part of its commitment to the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) Partner2Connect pledge. The event also saw the launch of the ITU Generation Connect Young Leadership Programme in Partnership with Huawei.
