Over one million people a year die as a result of antimicrobial resistance.
The Fleming Centre will drive a global movement to tackle it.
Proud to become Patron of the appeal to create this vital centre, which will educate, inspire and catalyse action to solve this problem.
After over 25 years of research, a team co-led by surgeons at
@ImperialNHS
and
@OUHospitals
has performed the UK's first womb transplant - and given a woman born without a functioning womb the possibility of getting pregnant and carrying her own baby (1/2).
A single dose of the Covid-19 vaccine does provide a good level of protection, but your second dose is important to make sure you have lasting protection from the virus.
