  • 1

    Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are prevalent, affecting 50-60% of adult women, with significant global incidence and mortality rates.

  • 2

    Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in uropathogens like E. coli and Klebsiella spp. is increasing, complicating UTI treatment.

  • 3

    Eritrea lacks comprehensive data on UTI epidemiology and AMR trends, hindering effective surveillance and management.

  • 4

    The National Health Laboratory in Eritrea is the sole facility capable of conducting microbiological tests for UTIs.

  • 5

    Efforts to address AMR in Eritrea are limited by inadequate laboratory infrastructure and the absence of a national action plan.
