Description
Ifeanyi Elibe Mba and Favour Temiloluwa Martins lay out a roadmap for fighting drug-resistant infections across Africa, in a 2025 review. The continent carries a heavy infection burden while sitting at the edge of global surveillance and trial networks. Gaps in laboratory capacity, data systems, governance, and funding slow every response. The review gathers the current landscape, names the structural barriers, and spotlights local programs that already work.
The authors argue for welding surveillance to investment: stronger labs, stewardship of antibiotics, shared data rules, and policy reform, phased to African realities. The goal is a shift from reacting to outbreaks toward preventing and containing resistance system-wide. Their priorities are concrete: detect earlier, research locally, and harden health systems. The paper speaks to ministries, funders, and hospital leaders.
