The main topics of the project are categorized into 6 different Work Packages:
1 - Network of hospitals in LMICs for future high-quality intervention trials
Leading PI: Dr. Tochi Okwor (Nigerian Centre for Disease Control)
- Develop a network of hospitals in LMICs with the capability and willingness to participate in trials of interventions to reduce the burden of AMR
- Integrate existing collaboratons in Africa or Asia, for example ORANGE Networ in Nigeria
- Develop costed trial protocols for evaluating key interventions
2 - Systematic Review of infection/AMR control interventions on transferability to global South
Leading PI: Dr. Friederike Maechler (Charité - Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine)
- Systematic literature research of existing interventions of infection prevention in high income countries as well as LMICs
- Develop a prioritised list of interventions
- Assess likely feasibility, acceptability, potential impact, sustainability, affordability in different LMIC settings
3 - Analysis of trial designs for high quality intervention trials in the global South
Leading PI: Prof. Ben Cooper (University of Oxford, Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health)
- Review and evaluate simulations in different study designs for interventions in infection prevention
- Aim at prevention of transmission, reducing morbidity and mortality
- inlcude pragmatic trials, mixed method approaches
4 - Analysis of Infection Control infrastructure in participating LMICs
Leading PI: Dr. Tochi Okwor (Nigerian Centre for Disease Control)
- Evaluate Infection prevention measures currently used in collaborating hospitals
- Use of standardises methodology, the WHO- IPC framework tool (WHO-IPCAF)
- Evealuate feasibility of conducting trials in hospitals without microbiology department
5 - Evaluation of challenges to implementation of IPC intervention measures in global South
Leading PI: Prof. Joachim Trebbe (Freie Universität Berlin, Institute for Media and Communication Studies, Department of Political and Social Sciences)
- Evaluate barriers and challenges to implementation of conventional and novel IPC interventions concerning heatlh care workers as well as patients
- Consider cultural differences and intercultural communication
- Develop evidence for interventions likely to improve adherence/support of patients and the public
6 - Data architechture and management platform for HAI, outbreak detection and response and AMR analysis and alerts
Leading PI: Dr. Friederike Maechler (Charité - University Medicine Berlin, Institute of Hygiene and Environmental Medicine)
- Collect data on the existing data architecture for microbiological laboratory data, patient movement data and risk factors for Antimicrobial Resistance/ Hospital Aquired Infections
- Develop a plan for standardised collection of routine data
- Evaluate possibilities for implementing automated alerts for outbreak situations
