World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) is here!

Posted on:

Each year 18th – 24th November, the WHO raises awareness about one of the biggest global health challenges we face: antimicrobial resistance (AMR).


💊 Why it matters:
When bacteria, viruses, and other microbes become resistant to medicines, common infections become harder — sometimes impossible — to treat. This affects everyone.


🛡️ What we can do:
✔️ Use antibiotics only when prescribed by a healthcare professional
✔️ Never pressure doctors for antibiotics
✔️ Complete your full treatment course
✔️ Practice good hygiene to prevent infections
✔️ Vaccinate when recommended
✔️ Handle and prepare food safely
