Brochure - Let's Make History, by telling our stories 2021: My labor, your first contact with friendly bacteria

It all began in the body of a new mother who carried in her womb the most cherished of her dreams: a longing named Martina.

The uncertainty of the first months of pregnancy made the wait last for what seemed like forever, until on November 12, 2015, you, dear Martina, decided to begin your journey into this world.

This story is excerpted from the 2021 Edition of "Let's make history by telling our stories," a brochure with several stories resulting from an invitation issued by the Pan American Health Organization, the Florida International University Global Health Consortium, and ReAct Latin America to communities in Latin America and the Caribbean, asking people to tell their stories related to infection prevention, use of antimicrobials, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The purpose of this invitation was to hear what was happening at the community level with respect to AMR and learn about the ingenious initiatives implemented to address problems in connection with the One Health concept and human solidarity.
