Development of an Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance and Control System in Primary Healthcare: The CDC-MEXICO Cooperative Agreement Initiative
A summary of a recently completed 2-year project titled ''CDC-MEXICO cooperative agreement for 'Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Capacity/Antimicrobial Resistance','' where I was Lead AI and Systems Engineer. We successfully developed an information system for the control of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at the primary level of care in Mexico. Furthermore, we also successfully established a new laboratory infrastructure. Consequently, our work enabled clinicians to receive standardized treatment recommendations, leverage laboratory-confirmed diagnoses, and access real-time surveillance data.
