Why is it that we should have seen this pandemic coming a mile off and spoiler alert some of us did. Secondly, why is it that the next pathogen that comes along may well be far more ominous than what we've seen in COVID-19?
I'm not trying to be melodramatic, but there's good reasons to believe that. And then finally, why is that I'm optimistic. I believe that we're going to go into the next pandemic far better prepared than we were for this one.
Stay tuned and find. Here's me in Medica 2006, in Düsseldorf, Germany talking about future pandemics. I spent my lifetime watching, understanding and inventing methods to stop spreading antimicrobial resistant infections. These are microbes that are stronger, more intelligent, and well adapted to survive. They jump from animals to humans faster than we can imagine, and is now threatening our very existance. You've not seen them before, but I have.

A simple life-saving minor surgical procedure that is performed in hospitals all over the world, can be a daunting experience for healthcare workers and patients. Though this simple procedure performed numerous times every day, doctors and nurses take years to master the skill.
​
IV cannulation is a critical procedure that is used in a wide variety of medical settings, including hospitals, emergency rooms, and clinics. It's not the virus, but the secondary bacterial infections that follow resulting in sepsis, multi-organ failure and death.

Superbug Maverick
Dr Kadiyali Srivatsa, known affectionately as “Doctor Sri,” is not your typical white-coated physician. He’s a force of nature, a relentless crusader against the microscopic villains that threaten our very existence. Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the extraordinary life of this superbug slayer.
"The Early Days"
A Whiff of Danger In the neon-lit laboratories of the 1980s, Dr. Sri was already stirring the scientific pot. While others sipped their coffee, he sounded the alarm about antimicrobial resistance. Picture this: a young doctor, wild-eyed and caffeinated, scribbling feverishly on a chalkboard. His message? “Superbugs are coming, folks!” The medical community raised an eyebrow. But Dr. Sri rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
Our Promise
Blinded by theoretical ideals, those in power fiddle while the world burns. Quarantines, brutal hammers forged in ignorance, splinter families and crush livelihoods. Yet, amidst the wreckage, humanity rises. We share stories, forge connections, and whisper knowledge against the storm. For in this crucible, we discover a universe not of callous indifference, but of shared vulnerability, where hope flickers like a defiant flame. We, the guardians, stand resolute. Our shields protect the vulnerable, our swords fight for change. We met, joined our hands, and promised to stand and watch the world is destroyed. We promised to break the grip of illusion, and forge a future where healthcare's toxic burden no longer poisons our world.
