Do you share your home with a pet? The World Health Organisation says antimicrobial resistance is one of the top 10 global health threats facing humanity – so take a look at what you and your 😺 or 🐶 or 🐰 or 🦜can do to help stop germs become resistant to life-saving medicines.
It's World Antimicrobial Awareness Week! Pharmacies around Aotearoa New Zealand are working hard to raise awareness about the threat of antimicrobial resistance by promoting an Antibiotic Amnesty to help teach everyone about appropriate disposal of old/unused antibiotics.
Kia ora Aotearoa NZ!
