This World Health Day, say NO to self-medication and YES to safe, informed healthcare.
Did you know that self-medication can fuel antibiotic resistance, one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. According to the World Health Organization, bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was directly responsible for 1.27 million deaths globally in 2019 and contributed to nearly 4.95 million deaths.
It doesn’t stop there. As highlighted by the National Institutes of Health, self-medication can also lead to incorrect diagnoses and adverse drug reactions. Consult before you consume. Your health deserves the right care.
