In conversation with Dr. Randeep Guleria, Chairman, Institute of Internal Medicine & Respiratory and Sleep Medicine, Medanta Hospital, Gurugram, And, Ex-Director, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.
The overuse and misprescription of antibiotics contribute to developing superbugs, rendering traditional treatments ineffective in critical care. AMR in critical care leads to increased costs, extended hospital stays, and limited treatment options. Combating AMR requires a multifaceted approach, including antibiotic stewardship, research, and development of novel antibiotics and alternative therapies, and rigorous infection control measures. Public education and collaboration among stakeholders are crucial for effective strategies. We spoke with Dr. Randeep Guleria, an eminent Indian pulmonologist and the ex-director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences on the challenges and solutions regarding AMR.
