Overview

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a public health crisis, whereby microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi develop an immunity to the drugs used to treat them. It is a major threat to global health and is a growing concern as it can limit the efficacy of antibiotics, antifungals and antivirals, thus increasing the risk of infection and death. AMR’s rise is due to over-prescription of antibiotics, inappropriate use and misuse of antibiotics, substandard medicines, and environmental contamination. To combat resistance, it is essential to control and regulate the prescription and use of antibiotics, prevent the spread of drug-resistant microorganisms, and invest in research to develop innovative new antibiotics and therapies.
