World Antimicrobial Awareness Week
Campaign ends.
(WAAW) is celebrated from 18-24 November every year. 🙏
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death
The theme for WAAW 2023 will remain
“Preventing antimicrobial resistance together”, 🙏
as in 2022.
AMR is a threat to humans, animals, plants and the environment. It affects us all.🙏
