A charity promoting patient & public advocacy, community, awareness & education to mobilise collective action against Antimicrobial Resistance #theAMRnarrative
AMR, or Antimicrobial Resistance, is a natural phenomenon where infection-causing microorganisms (germs) such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to become resistant to the antimicrobial medicines that were designed to treat them. These antimicrobial medicines include antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and antiparasitics.
AMR is a global health emergency, yet most patients and the public have never heard of it before. It is important that we can all play a role in protecting these life-saving medicines so they continue to work when we need them most.
We've created this short video which explains the basics of AMR.

Uganda's young people have spent years learning about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), leading awareness campaigns, conducting research, and championing One Health.
This year, it's time to take the next step.

We supported a student project exploring what it means to learn about antimicrobial resistance in our information-saturated world.

How do we know what to fight if #surveillance is insufficient?
The data says we have done really well, but in comparison to the gaps? We have a lot of work to do.
How far do you think we have gone with this objective?
What do you think of our #Assessment ?
#PAR
How far have we gone with awareness and communication on #AntimicrobialResistance?
This is the first objective on the global action plan and this is our assessment.
What do you think? Fair? Let us know in the comments.

"AMR is often described as a 'silent pandemic', but for those living with it, the experience is anything but silent." – @theAMRnarrative#PreventAMRTogether
From evidence → action.

Today is #HandHygieneDay!
Clean hands are one of the most effective ways to prevent infections and slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Every infection prevented is one less opportunity for resistance to develop.
