One thing you need to remember: you have the power to change your health! Let's end this #WorldHealthDay with a reflection on the use of antibiotics 💊 Antibiotics have long been hailed as life-saving remedies against infections, yet the rising specter of #AntibioticResistance threatens to undo decades of medical progress. 💡 Did you know that antibiotic resistance poses a grave challenge to both human health and food security worldwide? The more antibiotics we use, the more likely it is for resistance to emerge. ⚠️ Antimicrobial resistance not only endangers our ability to conduct crucial medical procedures safely but also transforms once-treatable infections into lethal threats if antibiotics prove ineffective. 💪 Yet, there is hope! One crucial step is to use antibiotics only when prescribed by qualified healthcare professionals. By doing so, we can curb the spread of resistance and safeguard both our own health and that of future generations. Check out two articles from the HOLIFOODproject that delve deeper into the #AMR phenomenon 👇 1️⃣ A Q&A on the mechanisms and causes of antimicrobial resistance, its effects on humanity, and best practices for reducing its spread ⏩ https://lnkd.in/ecfAJKJ3   2️⃣ An article that goes into greater detail about what Europe and the rest of the world are doing to combat #antimicrobialresistance ⏩ https://lnkd.in/ewbkbcDt ✅ Contribute to the reduction of antibiotic resistance. ✅ Protect your health and the health of future generations.

🌍 Have you ever taken antibiotics without consulting a doctor? Antibiotics, once celebrated as life-saving breakthroughs, are now at the heart of a growing global health crisis. Each year, over 5 million deaths are linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR)—a looming threat that we cannot ignore. 💡 What is AMR? When antibiotics are overused or misused, bacteria adapt and evolve, leading to antibiotic resistance. This means infections become harder—or even impossible—to treat, turning routine illnesses and basic procedures into life-threatening challenges. 🛑 What can we do? • Educate yourself about AMR. It’s our first line of defense. • Discuss responsible antibiotic use with healthcare professionals. • Spread awareness, advocate for stronger policies, and commit to action. • Always take antibiotics only under medical supervision and complete the prescribed course. Together, we can combat AMR. Let’s act now for a healthier future. #WorldAMRWeek #AntimicrobialResistance #GlobalHealth #HealthAwareness #Antibiotics #AMRAction #PublicHealth #SustainableHealthcare

🌟 New Insights on Doxycycline for STI Prevention and Gut Health 🌟 An interesting read from a recent study University of California, San Francisco reveals that while using doxy-PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) to prevent STIs has proven effective, there may be an emerging concern: antibiotic resistance. The study found that frequent doxy-PEP users maintained gut health, but saw a rise in tetracycline-resistant bacteria. As antibiotic use grows, monitoring resistance will be crucial to ensure its effectiveness. 📢 Key takeaway: Doxy-PEP is reducing STIs, but its long-term effects on resistance need more research. article: https://lnkd.in/eSsSewec #Healthcare #STIPrevention #GutHealth #PublicHealth

Did you know? Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms are increasingly surviving the medicines intended to treat them. It's called antimicrobial resistance, or AMR, and it's a major health threat.   Across our own operations and supply chain, we’re addressing #AMR in many ways. We piloted a program in Germany to get messages to people right when they picked up their antibiotics from the pharmacy or clinic to help them learn about ways to prevent AMR. So far we sent digital messages with these tips to: 🏥 ~11,000 pharmacies 🩺 ~65,000 healthcare professionals 🌐 ~275,000 patients   As a company that makes antimicrobial medicines, we want to make sure they work. And if we all take steps to address AMR, like prescribing and using antibiotics correctly, we can contribute to healthy people and a healthy planet, which are essential for a #HealthyFuture.   #AMRAwarenessWeek #AntimicrobialResistance #Tevapharm

⚠️ Did You Know? ⚠️ Taking antibiotics when they’re not needed or for the wrong reasons can create drug-resistant bacteria that are much harder to treat. Over time, these bacteria can change so much that antibiotics no longer work against them - this is known as antibiotic resistance. 💊❌ Antibiotic resistance is a major global health threat, but we can all help prevent it by using antibiotics only when necessary and following the advice of healthcare professionals. 🌍💪 Let’s take action this #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek (#WAAW) to protect the effectiveness of antibiotics for future generations! #AMR #AntibioticResistance #HealthAwareness #StopTheSpread #FightAMR

🌟 Antimicrobial Awareness Week: A Humble Reminder 🦠💊 Antimicrobials, like antibiotics and antifungals, have been lifesavers for decades, protecting us from deadly infections. But today, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical challenge to global health. Did you know? 1.27 million deaths annually are linked to drug-resistant infections. Without action, this number could escalate, impacting lives, economies, and healthcare systems worldwide. 👉 A humble reminder of what we all can do: ➡️Use antimicrobials responsibly: Only take them when prescribed. ➡️Complete the full course: Stopping early encourages resistance. ➡️Spread awareness: Share this post and educate others about AMR. As someone deeply engaged in antimicrobial research, I urge everyone to join this fight. Small actions, when multiplied, create big changes. Together, we can slow the rise of resistance and safeguard the effectiveness of these vital medicines for future generations. Let’s act responsibly. Let’s act now. 🌍 #AntimicrobialAwarenessWeek #AMR #GlobalHealth

#AntimicrobialResistance is a silent threat, endangering our health. AMR Week aims to raise awareness and understanding of AMR and promote best practices among Health stakeholders to reduce the emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections. Use antibiotics wisely! #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek #AntiMicrobial #antibiotics #HealthForAll

The Global Threat of Antibiotic Resistance 🚨 Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing health challenges of our time. Misuse and overuse of antibiotics have led to the rise of "superbugs," bacteria that are difficult, if not impossible, to treat with existing medications. **Why should we all be concerned?** - **Increased Mortality**: Resistant infections claim hundreds of thousands of lives each year worldwide. - **Longer Hospital Stays**: Patients with resistant infections often face prolonged and more expensive hospital treatments. - **Economic Burden**: The financial strain of treating resistant infections is immense, impacting individuals and healthcare systems globally. We must take this threat seriously and act now to protect future generations. #AntibioticResistance #GlobalHealth #Superbugs #Healthcare #PublicHealth #AMR

World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) is being observed globally to highlight the serious threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This year’s theme, "Educate. Advocate. Act Now.", is both a commitment and a call to take meaningful action against this growing issue. AMR, which happens when microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi develop resistance to medications, poses a significant challenge to public health. It makes infections harder to treat, leading to prolonged illness, higher medical costs, and increased mortality. As members of a global community, we all can play a role towards a healthier future by staying informed, promoting responsible use of antibiotics, and supporting policies to prevent the spread of AMR. Let’s take this week as an opportunity to reflect, engage, and act for this critical cause. Together, we can make a difference 🙏 ! #WAAW #Antimicrobialresistance #AMR #WAAW2024 #sciencecommunication #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek #PublicHealth #StopAMR #HealthForAll #AwarenessCampaign #SustainableHealth #WAAW #FightAMR #HealthMatters #ActNow

As AMR Awareness Week begins, it’s crucial to understand the weight of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and its far-reaching effects. AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial treatments. As a result, infections that were once manageable are now harder to treat, with antibiotics and other medications rendered increasingly ineffective. AMR doesn’t only threaten individual health – it is also a profound socio-economic issue. The cost of resistant infections means longer hospital stays, higher medical expenses and increased mortality. Its effects stretch across sectors, impacting human health, agriculture, food production and the environment. In fact in 2019 alone, AMR was linked to nearly 5 million deaths, illustrating its serious impact on global health. This World AMR Awareness Week, join us in committing to spreading education, advocacy for change and decisive action to combat AMR. The time to protect our future is now. #Healthium #HealthiumMedtech #HealthiumMedtechLtd #Medtech #MedicalDevice #MedicalDevices #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance #AMRAwareness #AMRAwarenessWeek #AntibioticResistance #AMRPrevention #FightAMR #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #HealthiumCares #HealthcareForAll #WAAW #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek #WorldAntiMicrobialResistanceAwarenessWeek
