AMIS

The Antimicrobials in Society (AMIS) Project Uganda is an anthropological research project aimed at better understanding the use of antimicrobials in Ugandan society. The study aims to understand the roles and context of antimicrobials in daily life in Tororo, Wakiso and Kampala districts from the perspective of health care providers, farmers and day wage urban workers. The research focuses on the ways in which antimicrobials enable particular ways of life and livelihoods and explore the context and the wider reasons for antimicrobial use in Uganda.
