World Antimicrobial Awareness
2021-10-01
Introduction Every year, World Antimicrobial Awareness Week aims to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and to encourage best practices among the general public, healthcare workers, and policymakers, to stop the further emergence and spread of drugresistant infections.
As resistance grows to a wider range of drugs the World Health Organization (WHO) has broadened the focus of this campaign from antibiotics to include all antimicrobials.
