Africa called – from Berlin. As always a great place to visit; this time to attend the Digital Health Africa 2025, organised by/at Charité.

We had the great pleasure of presenting two posters; the first – Women’s Occupational Burnout – on behalf of the EHFF European Health Futures Forum Working Group on Women’s Health, presenting a digital analysis platform to reduce burnout – inspired by WHO Regional Office for Europe SPI-DDH work on this issue.

The second – From Play to Prevention – was the creative spinoff from our recent workshop on AMR at DPH2025 in Madeira where bright minds built this new idea to build antiobiotic awareness, involve schools, and fight AMR across the continents.

The challenge of antimicrobial resistance rises almost exponentially, threatening to destroy decades of progress in modern surgery or other invasive prodecures. The change gear, the Swedish multistakeholder initiative AntibiotikaSmart has been established as a national action platform, lead primarily by RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) in collaboration with the National Public Health Agency..

NWA was happy to be invited to join the initiative in a knowledge sharing of progress, challenges, and tools at an event in Stockholm November 19, 2024 – and great to see the ambition and energy of the gathered stakeholders there. Among products, the initiative has developed a learning platform and a certification system for both social care and educational institutions to bring them into the important work.

We look forward to further support this work in 2025, including by joining with members of the European Health Fututures Forum to also try to bring these Swedish tools further into a European action context.
