π¦ **Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week** π§¬
π Together, we can combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and safeguard the future of medicine. AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to resist the drugs we use to treat them, making infections harder to cure. π«π
π **Hereβs how you can help:**
- **Use Antibiotics Wisely**: Only take antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare professional.
- **Complete Your Prescriptions**: Finish the entire course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better.
- **Prevent Infections**: Practice good hygiene, get vaccinated, and avoid close contact with sick individuals.
- **Support Research**: Advocate for and support research in new treatments and diagnostics.
