Join Us in the Fight Against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)!
Each year, World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) highlights the growing danger of antimicrobial resistance — when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to the medicines that should stop them. This makes infections harder to treat and puts millions of lives at risk.
Why is AMR Important? Antimicrobials, like antibiotics, help fight infections and save lives. But overuse and misuse make these medicines less effective over time, threatening human and animal health, surgeries, and routine medical treatments.
How You Can Help
- Use Medicines Responsibly: Follow your healthcare provider’s advice and avoid taking antibiotics when they aren’t needed.
- Learn and Share: Educate yourself and spread the word to family and friends about the importance of using antibiotics responsibly.
Together, we can protect the power of these life-saving medicines and help prevent infections from becoming untreatable. Join us this WAAW and make a difference!
