Marginalised populations, particularly in rural, tribal, and remote settings, are least likely to reach laboratories capable of culture and susceptibility testing, leaving treatment to empirical and often inappropriate antibiotic use. This work, conducted under the EquityAMR initiative in India, examines the AMR diagnostic access gap for marginalised communities and the role point-of-care technologies could play in closing it.
