๐๐ฆ ANTIMICROBIAL AWARENESS WEEK 2025 ๐ฆ ๐
Together, we can stop antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global threat that affects everyoneโpatients, families, healthcare workers, and communities. When antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines stop working, simple infections become harder to treat, hospital stays become longer, and lives are put at risk.
This week, we join the world in raising awareness and taking action to preserve the power of antimicrobials.
๐ก How YOU can help prevent resistance:
โ๏ธ Use antibiotics only when prescribed by a qualified health professional
โ๏ธ Never share or use leftover antibiotics
โ๏ธ Complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better
โ๏ธ Practice proper hand hygiene
โ๏ธ Ensure vaccination is up to date
โ๏ธ Promote clean water, sanitation, and infection prevention practices
๐งโโ๏ธ Healthcare workers: Strengthen infection prevention, ensure rational prescribing, and educate patients.
๐งโ๐พ Farmers & Veterinarians: Use antibiotics responsibly and support clean production systems.
๐๏ธ Policy Makers: Invest in AMR surveillance, stewardship, and community education.
Together, letโs protect our future.
Stop the spread. Preserve our medicines. Save lives.
