Lumos' FebriDx® was featured on Channel 9 News during its prime time 6pm national bulletin last night, sharing insight into how this rapid diagnostic test may help healthcare professionals make informed decisions about antibiotic prescribing on the frontline.
Lumos Non-Executive Chair, Sam Lanyon, was interviewed alongside CSIRO’s Minimising AMR Mission Lead, Prof Branwen Morgan, and Infectious Disease Expert, Professor Paul Griffin. At the heart of the story, was the lived experience of a mother-of-two, Nellie Harrison, and her three-year-old son Freddie who is navigating persistent respiratory illness.
This coverage coincides with WHO’s World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW), bringing timely attention to the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance, which claims over 1.2 million lives annually.
Thank you to Channel 9 Nine News reporter Meg Sydes for highlighting this important issue, and showcasing how Lumos is playing an active role in combating antibiotic resistance – both locally, and globally.
