Antimicrobials are essential for treating diseases in humans, animals, and plants - but over time, they’re becoming less effective.
This growing challenge, known as Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to treatments that once worked.
AMR can make infections difficult or impossible to treat, increasing the risk of severe illness and death.
Use antimicrobials responsibly to prevent #AMR
Let’s work Together - Across Sectors and Disciplines - to promote stewardship, raise awareness, and protect the effectiveness of these life-saving treatments.

In 2019, nearly 5 million human deaths worldwide were associated with bacterial AMR, of which 1.3 million human deaths were directly attributable to bacterial AMR.
🌏 AMR is a silent pandemic. It's time to raise our voices and take action. Join the cause of this #WAAW2023.

"New antibiotics have demonstrated only limited effectiveness against resistant strains. It's critical to limit antibiotic resistance so that antibiotics remain a potent treatment option against infections."

DYK!
That in a high-impact scenario, AMR will reduce global annual GDP by 3.8% by 2050. Left unchecked, in the next decade, AMR could result in a GDP shortfall of US$ 3.4 trillion annually and push 24 million more people into extreme poverty!

Without effective antimicrobials,the success of modern medicine in treating infections, including during major surgery and cancer, chemotherapy would be at increased risk.
