Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing global health challenges, undermining the effectiveness of life-saving medicines and increasing the risks of prolonged illness and mortality. Raising awareness and encouraging responsible use of antimicrobials is essential to protect current and future generations.
