FIGHT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

75% OF PATIENTS IN SOUTH AFRICA

ARE PRESCRIBED ANTIBIOTICS FOR NO REASON.

WHY? Due to the misconception that antibiotics treat all infections. However, antibiotics only work for bacterial infections.

If over prescription remains unchanged, antimicrobial resistance will cause more deaths than cancer & diabetes by 2050.

ESI HEALTH'S MISSION & VISION

Our mission is to drive behavioural changes and responsibility of appropriate antibiotics use to the general public & healthcare professionals. 

This project aims to take charge of antibiotic resistance in South Africa through a holistic national awareness campaign to drive responsible antibiotic use.
