Antimicrobial resistance is making infections harder or impossible to treat. However, many common infections, particularly upper respiratory tract infections, can be treated without antibiotics. When antibiotics are indicated, WHO “Access” antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, are generally first-choice.
Here are some ways health workers can protect the power of antibiotics and to help prevent AMR. Act now. Protect our present. Secure our future.
