Genome Center Director Warns of Hidden Pandemic
Dr. Mohamed Al-Hadidi, Director of the Genome Center at Zewail City, warned of the dangers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is considered a "hidden pandemic," causing the death of approximately 5 million people annually—exceeding the combined death tolls from HIV and tuberculosis. Projections expect the number of deaths to rise to 10 million by 2050, with additional costs to the global healthcare system surpassing one trillion dollars. He emphasized the importance of integrating genetic data and smart technologies to monitor the development of pathogens early and to improve prevention strategies and public health efforts.
