Overview

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an important public health issue referring to the ability of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites to resist the effects of drugs that were previously effective for treating them. This resistance can lead to infections that are difficult to treat and can be passed from one person to another, posing a serious threat to global health. AMR is a growing problem, as microorganisms become more resistant to the drugs used to treat them, leading to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and decreased efficacy of treatments. This has significant implications for healthcare providers, patients and their families, as well as policy makers. The use of proper infection control practices, such as hand-washing, safe food preparation, and proper disposal of medical waste, is essential to prevent the spread of AMR. Governments, healthcare organizations, and other stakeholders need to work together to combat AMR and protect public health.
