FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT, TO ADVANCE EDUCATION AMONG THE GENERAL PUBLIC, MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS,
PATIENTS, AND OTHERS, ABOUT ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE (AMR) AND HEALTH THROUGH THE PROVISION OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, PROGRAMMES AND TOOLS INCLUDING A WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS, WEBINARS, EVENTS AND OTHER MEDIA.
AMR IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON WHERE MICROORGANISMS SUCH AS BACTERIA, VIRUSES, FUNGI, AND PARASITES EVOLVE TO BECOME RESISTANT TO THE DRUGS THAT ARE USED TO TREAT THEM. THIS MEANS THAT THE DRUGS BECOME LESS EFFECTIVE OR COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE IN TREATING THE INFECTIONS CAUSED BY THESE RESISTANT MICROORGANISMS.
