ESCMID: AMS in Migration- and travel-associated infections

Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in migration- and travel-associated infections

Processes of globalisation and climate change have far reaching consequences, which affect medical care worldwide. Steadily rising temperatures and climate change-induced natural disasters lead to changing mobility patterns and migration movements of refugees. Furthermore, infectious diseases may become prevalent in regions that have not been affected previously. Antimicrobial stewardship, especially for migration- and travel-associated infections, should therefore be taught with a global and holistic perspective, taking medical, political, and cultural factors into account.
