Surveillance and Epidemiology of Drug-resistant Infections Consortium

SEDRIC aims to transform the way countries are able to track, share and analyse information about the rise and spread of drug-resistant infections. 

Better information will speed up action and improve public health interventions, saving many lives in the process.

SEDRIC will:

• identify the critical gaps in, and barriers to, the surveillance and epidemiology of drug-resistant infections, and how these can be overcome at a national and global level
• provide technical expertise and knowledge to strengthen and support existing surveillance networks and activities
• improve global co-ordination by helping countries adopt common and sustainable best practices and strategies
• inform and shape Wellcome’s strategy for limiting the future impact of drug-resistant infections.

It began its work in January 2018 and is funded by Wellcome. 

Would you like to help shape SEDRIC’s work and be part of a global community of experts?

Applications are open to anyone who has an interest in surveillance and epidemiology of drug-resistant infections.
