About AMR: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, develop the ability to resist the effects of antimicrobial medications, making infections harder to treat. This growing global health threat arises from the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials, and can lead to severe consequences, including prolonged illnesses, increased mortality, and economic burdens.
Sub-themes your submissions can creatively explore:
- The human impact of AMR
- The role of antimicrobials in modern medicine
- The consequences of AMR for global health
- Innovative solutions to combat AMR
- Other directions that revolve the theme and AMR
Be part of the movement! Submit your entry & let your voice be heard!
