We’ve Been Shortlisted for an Antibiotic Guardian Award

Home News We’ve Been Shortlisted for an Antibiotic Guardian Award

News05/10/2020drasa_admin

We have some exciting news: DRASA Health Trust has been shortlisted for the Antibiotic Guardian Awards 2020!

Antibiotic Guardian Awards 2020 Shortlisted

What does that mean?

The Antibiotic Guardian Campaign was developed in 2014 by Public Health England to address antibiotic resistance – one of the biggest health threats facing us today.

Imagine a world without effective antibiotics. We would have supergerms (resistant bacteria) that would make even the smallest injuries or simplest health care procedures very dangerous.

To stop this from happening, we all need to stop unnecessary use of antibiotics.

Why were we shortlisted?

We were shortlisted under the Children & Family category because we found a unique way to tackle misuse of antibiotics: using the power of youth.

As you may know, we developed a curriculum to train Youth Ambassadors – who we call our DRASA Ambassadors – and we deliver the curriculum to these students through weekly Health and Hygiene Clubs in their schools.

One of our main topics for the Clubs is the issue of supergerms and antibiotic resistance.

Through the Club lessons and fun activities, we empower these students to become champions of healthy behaviors in their schools, homes and communities.

Become an Antibiotic Guardian

Who else was shortlisted?

Several of our colleagues and partners including Africa Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Ducit Blue Foundation and Healthcare Communication and Social Media South Africa were also shortlisted.

What’s next?

The virtual award ceremony takes place on the 26th of November 2020 so we’ll keep you posted!

Wish us luck.

About Us

DRASA Health Trust is a public health organization working with government, local and international partners, community leaders, students, and health workers to promote adequate sanitation and hygiene, reduce and prevent the spread of infectious diseases, and strengthen Nigeria’s health security and emergency preparedness.

DRASA was established in memory of the late Dr. Ameyo Stella Adadevoh who identified and contained Nigeria's first Ebola patient, preventing a major outbreak, but lost her life in the process.
