Niar Wins Outstanding Oral Presentation Award at ICCPHS 2026

On 19 October 2026, Niar Ibrahim received the Outstanding Oral Presentation Award at the 26th International Conference of Public Health Sciences (ICCPHS 2026), hosted by the College of Public Health Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, under the theme “Health-Tech in Action: From Innovation to Implementation.”

Niar presented “SEA-ARMi Response to WHO Fungal Priority Pathogens: From Environmental Threat Assessment to One Health Action,” which introduced the work of the Southeast Asia Antifungal Resistance Monitoring initiative (SEA-ARMi), a regional network supported by the FAILSAFE programme. Her talk showed how environmental surveillance of WHO priority fungal pathogens can support coordinated One Health action across Southeast Asia.
The award, which came with a 5,000 THB prize, recognizes both the quality of the research and Niar’s clear, engaging presentation. It also reflects the growing attention to fungal threats and antifungal resistance in the public health community. Congratulations, Niar!
