Today marks the end of World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial agents. As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents become ineffective and infections become difficult or impossible to treat, increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death.
Drug-resistant infections are increasing, yet awareness, investment and action are still falling short.
Do you part to help by keeping antibiotics working!
Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future.
