5. AMR undermines progress in medical advancements, jeopardizing the ability to control infectious diseases and respond to public health emergencies. When we protect ourselves #AMR effect we are protecting our neighbour and the country. Stop the misuse and abuse of drugs.
4. Antibiotics are critical for preventing infections during surgeries and cancer treatments. As AMR increases, the risks associated with these procedures also increase.
2. Resistant infections often require longer hospital stays, additional tests, and more intensive care, leading to higher healthcare costs. 3. AMR can result in infections that are difficult or impossible to treat, leading to increased illness and death. #Amr
 Effects on human 1. When common infections become resistant to first-line antibiotics, doctors must turn to more expensive or toxic alternatives, which may not always be effective. #AMR
2. Poor hygiene practices in healthcare settings and in the community can spread resistant bacteria. 3. Use of antibiotics in livestock farming can contribute to the emergence of resistant strains, which can then be transferred to humans through food chains or the environment.
This resistance makes it harder or impossible to treat infections caused by these resistant organisms. Here are three ways in which our behaviour leads to Antimicrobial resistance: 1. Overuse and Misuse of Medications: Taking antibiotics when they are not needed.
What is AMR, Causes and how does it affect you? Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a phenomenon where microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to become resistant to antimicrobial agents like antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics.
