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.
