Many have started action

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a serious public health threat, it has been called the "Silent Pandemic".
It is an Umbrella term to describe Resistance of all Micro-organisms to treatment.
It occurs when drugs which were once effective in treating diseases caused by Micro-organisms are no more effective.

More and more people die from resistant infections yearly with the Elderly, Very Young being the most victims and yet most people haven't heard of Antimicrobial Resistance

Our irrational use of antibiotics, lack of legislation, poor prescription habits have played a major role in promoting the occurrence of resistance.

The severity and complexity of AMR says that no one sector can solve the issue and therefore is a Multisectoral challenge.
It doesn't belong only in discussions of health experts.

You Sir, Accountant, Lawyer, Magistrate, Psychologist, Sociologist, Physician, Pharmacist, Mother, Student everyone has a role to play.
We are all responsible for this.

To this, AMR watch asks that you lend your face, your voice, to create awarenes this November.
