What is World Antibiotic Awareness Week?

World AMR Awareness Week, held from November 18 to 24, was launched by the World Health Organization in 2015 as World Antibiotic Awareness Week. Antimicrobial resistance happens when bacteria and other microbes evolve to survive the medicines meant to kill them, making common infections harder to treat. The week urges people not to demand antibiotics for colds and flu, to finish courses as prescribed, and calls on farmers and doctors to use these medicines carefully.
