  • Co-creating community-driven solutions and policy priorities to address antimicrobial resistance through Responsive Dialogues

    Open AccessHenry Sambakunsi, MacWellings Phiri et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Inappropriate antibiotics use due to low public knowledge and awareness contributes to the growing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) burden, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The aim of Responsive Dialogues (RDs) is to engage communities and key stakeholders to share information, galvanize action and create local solutions to reduce the burden of AMR. RDs promote collaborative problem-solving and have been identified as a poten…

  • ‘Responsive Dialogues’, an engagement framework for antimicrobial resistance

    Open AccessBhensri Naemiratch, Anne Osterrieder et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2026

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health crisis requiring multisectoral responses that extend beyond biomedical interventions. Participatory approaches can ensure that policies and practices reflect community realities, yet evidence from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remains limited. To examine how the Responsive Dialogues (RD) framework was implemented in Malawi and Thailand, and to identify lessons on adapting participatory …

  • “Arming half-baked people with weapons!” Information enclaving among professionals and the need for a care-centred model for antibiotic use information in Uganda, Tanzania and Malawi

    Open AccessSusan Nayiga, Eleanor E Macpherson et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2024

    BACKGROUND: The overuse of antimicrobial medicines is a global health concern, including as a major driver of antimicrobial resistance. In many low- and middle-income countries, a substantial proportion of antibiotics are purchased over-the-counter without a prescription. But while antibiotics are widely available, information on when and how to use them is not. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to understand the acceptability among experts and professionals o…

  • Household antibiotic use in Malawi

    Open AccessEleanor E Macpherson, John Mankhomwa et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant threat to public health. Use of antibiotics, particularly in contexts where weaker regulatory frameworks make informal access easier, has been identified as an important driver of AMR. However, knowledge is limited about the ways antibiotics are used in communities in Malawi and sub-Saharan Africa. Between April and July 2021, we undertook a cross-sectional survey of community antibiotic use practic…

  • Understanding antimicrobial use in subsistence farmers in Chikwawa District Malawi, implications for public awareness campaigns

    Open AccessEleanor E Macpherson, J Reynolds et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Drug resistant infections are increasing across the world and urgent action is required to preserve current classes of antibiotics. Antibiotic use practices in low-and-middle-income countries have gained international attention, especially as antibiotics are often accessed beyond the formal health system. Public awareness campaigns have gained popularity, often conceptualising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a problem of excess, precipitated by…

  • Understanding antimicrobial resistance through the lens of antibiotic vulnerabilities in primary health care in rural Malawi

    Open AccessEleanor E Macpherson, J Reynolds et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2021

    The diminishing effectiveness of antimicrobials raises serious concerns for human health. While policy makers grapple to reduce the overuse of antimicrobial medicines to stem the rise of antimicrobial resistance, insufficient attention has been paid to how this applies to low-resource contexts. We provide an in-depth portrayal of antimicrobial prescribing at primary health care level in rural Chikwawa District, Malawi. Ethnographic fieldwork took…
