💊 Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial agents as a result of drug resistance. One of the causes of AMR is over-prescribing and inappropriate use of antibiotics. We all have a role to play in preserving the effectiveness of these critical medicines -

* Never Share or use leftover antibiotics
* Only take antibiotics as prescribed.
* Not all infections require antibiotics (e.g. coughs & colds are normally as a result of viruses, which do not respond to antibiotics)
* Prevention is better than cure - observe good hand-hygeine and ensure you are up to date with seasonal/eligible vaccinations
