Anti-microbials In Society - Thailand, Study 1, 2017-2021

The AMIS Project Thailand is an anthropological research project aimed at better understanding the role of antimicrobials in daily life in Thai society in diverse contexts and with different actors, including health care providers, day wage urban workers, scientists and policy-makers. The research focuses on the ways in which antimicrobials enable particular ways of life, livelihoods and institutional practices, and explores the context and the wider motivations for antimicrobial use in Thailand. Specifically, it focusses on access to antimicrobials in community pharmacies in Thailand, the transmission of antimicrobial resistant infection in bedridden patients, and the impact of rational drug use policies.
