WHO Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance

The WHO Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance aims to combat the growing problem of bacteria and other microbes becoming resistant to medicines like antibiotics. This resistance makes infections harder to treat, increasing health risks worldwide. The plan focuses on improving awareness, strengthening healthcare systems, promoting responsible use of antibiotics, encouraging research, and ensuring effective infection prevention. Its goal is to preserve the effectiveness of these medicines for future generations, protecting global health and saving lives by preventing the spread of resistant microbes.
