iFAST Diagnostics Ltd has developed a breakthrough technology that delivers antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results with speed, accuracy, and actionable clinical detail. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the defining health challenges of our time. As bacteria evolve and become increasingly resistant to existing treatments, the global community faces a mounting crisis that […]
New Mexico public dashboard tracks PFAS in drinking water
New Mexico data shows 15 public water systems exceed federal PFAS standards due to expanded sampling. In response, the New Mexico Department of the Environment (NMED) has introduced a statewide online dashboard that allows residents and water professionals to view drinking water PFAS testing data across local public water systems. This tool represents a significant […]
New project to improve community care across Africa
Researchers at the University of British Columbia have become the first in Canada to receive Horizon Europe funding to improve post-hospital community care for sepsis. The team, led by Dr Matthew Wiens, will receive €5 million to help improve community care and reduce child deaths from sepsis in Uganda and Kenya. The project is led […]
