CHAMPS was honored to be among those presenting at the 69th annual ASTMH meeting last week!

Colleagues from our 7 sites in Africa and Asia, and the U.S. program office came together for more than 30 presentations, including a symposium on antimicrobial resistant bacterial infections as a cause of stillbirth and child death.

We had a great week sharing CHAMPS’s work, learning about the incredible work being done to improve global health, and connecting virtually with experts from across the world.Thank you to everyone who was able to join virtually, and a big thanks to all of the CHAMPS staff and partners who presented.
