The session is focused on AMS (Antimicrobial Stewardship) and IPC (Infection Prevention and Control) and their significant contributions to decreasing AMR (Antimicrobial Resistance). Summary: From their sub-Saharan Africa headquarters located in Johannesburg, South Africa, for more than 70 years, Pfizer has been delivering life-changing breakthroughs to the people of South Africa. Guided by their values and the three pillars of innovation, investing and safeguarding, we work with Healthcare Practitioners, Policy Makers, Patient Groups and other members of civil society to serve the communities in which they live and work, broadening access to medicines and strengthening healthcare delivery for the people who need it most. Living our values of courage, excellence, equity and joy, they are a diverse team working daily to provide all South Africans with access to global scientific innovation that can help them to live longer, better lives. Through their commitment to the national agenda, they are contributing to the development of a strong healthcare system, as well as growth of the knowledge economy in the interest of those who need to be empowered today and to the benefit of the generations to come.
