In the last week of July, after introductions from the Wellcome Trust, we presented and demo'd SEDRI-LIMS to a delegation from Partners In Health (PIH), an international, non-profit public health organization dedicated to improving healthcare in the poorest areas of developing countries.
There appeared to be a strong and urgent need for a free-to-use microbiology LIMS among the PIH managed sites and our presentation and demo seemed to hit the spot, so much so that we have now been directly connected with representatives from the key 5 countries that PIH work with on AMR: Sierra Leone, Liberia, Malawi, Rwanda and Haiti. Three of these already now have their own cloud-hosted evaluation instances of the system, with the other two potentially requiring local installations.
