Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents one of the most pressing global health threats, as infections caused by resistant microorganisms are becoming harder to treat. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in both healthcare and agriculture have accelerated the development of resistant strains. AMR not only complicates treatment options but also increases the risk of longer hospital stays, more intensive care, and higher mortality rates. To tackle this growing issue, it is critical to implement stricter regulations on antibiotic usage, promote infection prevention measures, and invest in research for new drugs and alternative therapies. Raising awareness and encouraging responsible practices among healthcare providers, farmers, and the general public are essential steps in slowing the spread of AMR.
