Why we chose Rwandan AMR Youth Combatants

The reason why we chose this name, is because we as Rwandan youth in our respective multidisciplinary team, we become committed and eager to combat the threat of AMR in our local communities after assessing its burden and negative health impacts. Furthermore, this symbolizes our strong belief that youth is a special tool for change once they join their hands together.

OUR STORY

Despite the fact that we are a group of students from the same university and campus, working together has never been easy. It all began when one of us heard about the AMR program application. The person spreads the good news to one another, and as a result, we have a team of two pharmacy students, one general medicine and surgery student, one law student, and one agro-forestry student. Furthermore, we decided to submit our application following some intensive group discussions in which we attempted to explain the threats of AMR and why we needed to be fully involved.  We expect to meet experts who have a better understanding of the AMR

threats, who will hold our hands throughout the program and show us the entire picture of the threats. We expect to meet students from various African countries, which will allow us to see what measures and strategies others are employing. In fact, we expect to gain new friends whom we can join hands together to provide a tangible solution to AMR to our respective local communities, countries, continent, and the entire world. Furthermore, we anticipate learning a way to communicate AMR to local community in comprehensive manner.

Utwo dukoko dukomeza kwihagararaho yewe tugakomeza kwororoka. Uko kwihagararaho kutwo dukoko ku miti niko gutuma indwara ziterwa natwo zitinda cyangwa zikanga gukira. Uku kwihagararaho ahanini guterwa n’ ikoreshwa nabi ry’ imiti. Mu gihe imiti igamije kutwica cyangwa se igamije kuduca intege, gutuma tudakomeza kwiyongera no gukwirakwira mu mubiri. Mugihe ikoreshejwe:

  • Mu ngano nkeya ugereranyije niyagenwe n’ abahanga mu by’imiti
  • Mu gihe imiti ifashwe mu buryo budahuye cyangwa se bunyuranye nubwo umurwayi yumvikanyeho na muganga

Urugero: gusangira imiti mu rugo, kwirengagiza cyangwa kwibagirwa gufata imiti ku gihe, gufatana imiti hamwe nibiribwa cyangwa ibinyobwa wabujijwe na muganga nk’amata, inzoga, n’ ibindi,…

  • Igihe kirekire; bituma udukoko dukomeza kugenda tumenyera kwihanganira iyo miti hanyuma mu gihe runaka tukazagira ubudahangarwa kuri iyo miti.
  • Mu gihe imiti yaba ikoreshejwe neza, hari amahirwe menshi yuko uburemere n’ingaruka ziterwa n’ ukwihararaho k’ udukoko dutera indwara zitandukanye byagabanuka gusa bisa nk’ibigoye ko twarangiza burundu ikibazo cy’ ukwihagararaho k’udukoko ku miti gikomeje guhitana ubuzima bwa benshi muri Africa ndetse no ku isi muri rusange. Ubu ikibazo cy’ ukwihagararaho k’udukoko ku miti kiri mwanya wa gatatu (3) mu guteza imfu nyinshi ndetse imibare igaragazako muri 2050, abazajya bicwa n’ ukwihagaraho kudukoko bazaba ari miliyoni icumi(10,000,000) burimwaka.
