Language Access for Safer Antibiotic Use
RELAY AMR is enabling safer antibiotic use by translating and maintaining high-quality resources in underserved languages through a youth-led global network.
Our Approach
Developing Model Getting Ready for Pilots
The RELAY approach centers on a collaborative ecosystem designed to bridge the language gap in antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As an early-stage network in formation, we are building a model where youth translators work in tandem with clinical mentors. This mentorship ensures that every resource translated is both linguistically accessible and medically rigorous, adhering to the highest standards of antibiotic stewardship.
Our workflow emphasizes co-design with local communities, ensuring that translated materials are culturally relevant and ready for pilot distribution. Through strategic partnerships with hospitals, NGOs, and student groups, we plan to implement quality-reviewed translations that empower clinicians and patients alike. By focusing on evidence-based practice grounded in WHO findings, we are preparing to launch Phase 1 pilots that transform how AMR information is shared globally.
Our Roadmap & Future Goals
RELAY is in early formation. With ~98% of AMR literature currently locked in English, our roadmap outlines the targets we are building toward as we move from design into Phase 1 pilots.
100 Volunteer Youth Translators
10 High-Priority Languages
Launching localized pilots in ten core languages with the largest stewardship communication gaps.
Centralized Digital Platform
Developing a standardized AMR glossary and digital workflow for high-quality resource management.
Ministry & NGO Partnership Support
Beginning discussions to act as a localized translation body for Ministries of Health and international health organizations.
Expansion to 50+ Global Languages
As we validate our model through initial pilots, our roadmap targets scaling to 25 and eventually 50+ languages to support universal linguistic access for safe use of antibiotics.
