[POOR HYGIENE AND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE]
#antimicrobialresistance occurs when the effectiveness of the drugs administered to combat microbes 🦠 are diminished, or completely abolished. Where there is poor #sanitation and unhygienic living, life-threatening diseases.

It is not just a medical issue! The sustainable development goals are affected too, more reason we need a combined effort to eradicate antimicrobial resistance. #preventingAMRtogether – at Kabale, Uganda

Today is World #HandHygieneDay! These are the microbes on your hands grown on an agar filled petri-dish. Hand washing is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infection and #AntimicrobialResistance. Save lives - clean your hands @WHO

Together, we can accelerate action to prevent infections and antimicrobial resistance in health care and build a culture of safety and quality in which hand hygiene improvement is given high priority.

Antimicrobial resistance #AMR poses a major threat to human health. @FAOSierraLeone, supported by @FlemingFund trains field staff on antimicrobial use data collection, sample collection, biosafety and biosecurity to improve their capabilities to conduct AMR surveillance

In this @OneHealthTrust One World One Health podcast, @maggiemfox talks with @DeepshikhaBath1 about the effect of gender inequality on the spread of superbugs.
Women are far more likely to be infected with and then spread drug-resistant superbugs: tinyurl.com/29pmfn6k
