An increasing number of drug-resistant viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites are spreading making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of severe illness or even death.
Antibiotics and antimicrobials are becoming less effective in curing people due to their overuse and misuse.
To avoid this threat and keep these medicines working for a long time we must act now to antimicrobial resistance together:
- Only take medicines prescribed by a certified health professional
- Never share or use leftover medicines
- Clean your hands regularly
- Avoid close contact with sick people
- Keep vaccinations up to date
- Never give antibiotics to animals to promote growth or prevent disease without veterinary supervision
- Obtain health information from credible sources only
