About me

  • Nada Hanna is a distinguished expert in environmental antimicrobial resistance (AMR), health systems and policy, with a robust foundation in pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry. Her professional journey spans academia, national government, private sector, and the United Nations system.

    Nada is a postdoctoral researcher in Health System and Policy at the Department of Global Public Health at Karolinska Institutet. Her academic achievements stand out, particularly her PhD thesis titled "Integrated Assessment of Environmental and Human Health Risks of Antibiotic Residues and Resistance for Environmental and Health Policy". This research, particularly aimed at the WHO's Western Pacific and South-East Asia Regions, with a special focus on China and India, has contributed significantly to the prioritization of antibiotics for remediation and the development of environmental and health policy (ki.se) [1].
    In the realm of Environmental Medicine and Global Public Health, Nada has made her mark through her involvement in significant research projects both nationally and internationally. Her expertise contributed to a pivotal WHO project examining "Antibiotic Residues in the Aquatic Environment of the South-East Asia Region of the WHO: A Risk Factor for Antibiotic Resistance." Moreover, her role in IMPACT, the One Health Sino-Swedish integrated multi-sectoral partnership, aimed at combating antibiotic resistance, further highlights her contributions to this critical global health challenge.
