To tackle #AntimicrobialResistance and shortages of antibiotics, we need to:
1. Increase R&D to fill the dry pipeline.
2. Reduce unnecessary antibiotic use in health care, agriculture and food production.
3. Expand regional and local production, particularly in lower-income countries.

This event is a timely call-to-action ahead of the UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs and Mental Health, and will bring together #survivors, #advocates, and #experts to spotlight shared challenges and solutions.
Why this matters:
🔹 People living with NCDs are more vulnerable to drug-resistant infections
🔹 AMR and NCDs share systemic drivers such as health inequities and access barriers
🔹 This is a platform to amplify survivor voices, unite advocacy communities, and shape future global health commitments
With just 2 weeks to go, we encourage you to register and help us spread the word. @WHO
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Faustine Ndugulile, the recently elected @WHOAFRO Regional Director. His dedication to improving health across our continent leaves a lasting legacy. My condolences to his family, the people of Tanzania, and all he inspired.
#Pollution of the #environment with antimicrobial-containing waste and runoff from manufacturing sites, farms, hospitals and other sources is a key driver in the development, transmission and spread of #AMR to #humans, #animals and #plants. #WAAW

3 ways you can help prevent #AntimicrobialResistance:
1️⃣ Take antibiotics exactly as your doctor prescribes
2️⃣ Wash your hands regularly to prevent infection
3️⃣ Get vaccinated on time every time as recommended in national immunization schedules

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) leads to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased mortality.
💧 Access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) helps prevent drug-resistant infections, saves lives, and lowers health costs.
