A message circulating on social media falsely claims that the current weather conditions in Sierra Leone constitute extreme air pollution, posing significant health risks.

The message attributes the information to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and includes a list of purported health dangers, such as reduced lung function and respiratory infections.

A thought-provoking session with educators and journalists was held at the Atlantic Lumley Hotel, as WHO and Ministry of Health and Sanitation facilitators explored the concerning misuse of antibiotics.
Delving into the roles and responsibilities of teachers and journalists in educating students and communities about AMR, along with presenting proper medication alternatives to mitigate health risks, this session was truly enlightening.
Now armed with knowledge, these dedicated professionals have become champions in spreading awareness on AMR to pupils, homes, and communities. Let's join forces to combat antibiotic resistance! 💊🚨
