Infectious disease and Vaccination workshop 2026

In July 2026, Dr. Sachit Sharma, an intensivist at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), Kathmandu, participated in a training at the Department of Infectious Diseases at CMC Vellore, which he believes will help him during his day-to-day clinical practice as he manages critical patients with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A clinical investigator and an executive at GlohMed, Dr. Sharma has been involved in teaching and designing studies on AMR and health outcomes of critically ill patients. He also attended a workshop on Adult vaccination which discussed interlinkages between vaccination and AMR. On the basis of high-impact modeling evidence, global scientists are now openly advovating the role of vaccination in combating both infections and AMR – the double prevention. Dr. Sharma is a life member of Clinical Infectious Diseases Society (CIDS) of India. He is also a senior member of regional and Nepalese societies of critical care medicine. AMR is considered a global public health threat, and its burden is relatively higher in South Asia. Dr. Sharma reflects, “Once we have adequate evidence relevant to AMR, an effective Antimicrobial Stewardship Programme can be implemented in various public, private hospitals that are struggling to fight against the rising burden of AMR.” Scientists at GlohMED and CMC Vellore have been collaborating on various projects related to infections, AMR and immunity.
