[Re: https://www.hifa.org/dgroups-rss/antimicrobial-resistance-7-death-qualit... ]
Dear colleagues
It is true that the percentage might no be very accurate and it would have be better state avoidable death rather than just deaths.
My focus is not on the figures but on the fact that poor quality of care is one of the major causes of death in LMICs, and Health Care Associated Infections (HAI) and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) are major contributors that the poor quality of care and deaths.
Thank you
Jacob
