Day 2 of the conference聽provided an opportunity for Southampton鈥檚 Global-NAMRIP researchers to engage in conversations and discussions with stakeholders including academics, government organisations and policy makers from Ghana, Malawi and Uganda. The discussions allowed identification of important contacts which should lead to collaborative research opportunities, in the future, in areas like infection prevention, identifying veterinary residues and other microbes in fish and meat products, using new diagnostic technologies in LMICs and models for UK collaboration on AMR control between the UK, Ghana, Malawi and Uganda.

Professor Leighton closed the meeting with thanks to the speakers, attendees, and to Yvonne Richardson and Frances Clarke for their hard work over the preceding months administering the organization of this conference.
