Are we on the brink of a post-antibiotic era? 😱 Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health crisis, threatening our ability to treat common infections. Here's why it matters: 👉 Superbugs: Bacteria are evolving, and becoming resistant to multiple antibiotics. 👉 Deadly Infections: Simple infections could become life-threatening. 👉 Healthcare Burden: Increased healthcare costs and longer hospital stays. What can we do? 👍 Responsible Use: Only use antibiotics when necessary and complete the full course. 👍 Prevent Infections: Practice good hygiene, and get vaccinated. 👍 Support Research: Advocate for funding to develop new antibiotics and treatments. Let's work together to combat antibiotic resistance and protect future generations! 💪 #antibioticresistance #healthcare #publichealth

AMR (anti-microbial resistance), where antibiotics are becoming less effective over time, is a top WHO risk impacting human health. New and existing vaccines can help prevent infections from happening in the first place. This can slow the spread of diseases and potentially reduce the need for antibiotics. We all have a role to play in protecting human health. #PfizerProud #PFEColleague

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) makes infections harder to treat, increasing the risk of disease spread, and is a global health threat. Small, deliberate actions can make a big difference in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics. This World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week, our healthcare professionals at Changi General Hospital share practical tips to prevent AMR: 💊 Use antibiotics responsibly—only when prescribed by a healthcare professional. 🧼 Practise good hand hygiene to reduce the spread of resistant bacteria. 💉 Get vaccinated to prevent infections and the overuse of antibiotics. From doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to patients and caregivers, everyone has a role in combating AMR. Swipe through as our CGH care team shares about their roles and tips to tackle AMR effectively! #CGHCares #ChangiGeneralHospital #CaringGeneralHospital #YourTrustedCarePartner #WorldAntimicrobialResistanceAwarenessWeek #WAAW2024 #AntimicrobialResistance #EducateAdvocateActNow

🚨Awareness against Anti-microbial resistance‼️ #Antimicrobialresistance is a growing threat to global health, affecting everyone regardless of age, location, or income year by year. If we don't act now, these common infections would become more life threatening. we can save humanity by following these steps; •⁠ ⁠Use antibiotics as prescribed by a medical practitioner •⁠ ⁠Practice good hygiene and get vaccinated •⁠ ⁠Support antimicrobial research and development Spread the word, and take action today‼️ ADMAP National (UNILAG CHAPTER)

Diphtheria Outbreak? Here’s How We Can Stay Prepared With Diphtheria cases rising, the focus on treatment and timely response is more crucial than ever. While vaccination is the first line of defence, once an outbreak occurs, stopping the disease requires more than just preventive measures. In these situations, rapid intervention with an antitoxin becomes essential. How to Stay Ahead During an Outbreak: •Early Treatment: In active cases, use of anti-toxin reduces the risk of complications. •Timely Awareness: Sharing information and acting quickly are crucial to controlling the spread. Meet VINDIP – The Antitoxin That Makes a Difference For managing active cases, our VINDIP Diphtheria Antitoxin works to neutralize harmful toxins and prevent severe complications. At VINS Bio, we’re committed to ensuring that every health facility has access to this vital resource, helping healthcare providers treat patients effectively. Together, let’s bolster our defences against Diphtheria outbreaks.

World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) 📅 18–24 November Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. As we observe World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, it's crucial to understand that the overuse and misuse of antibiotics and other antimicrobials are accelerating this global threat. The theme of this week is a call to action for all healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and the public to: ✅ Promote the responsible use of antimicrobials. ✅ Prevent infections through better hygiene and vaccination. ✅ Spread awareness about AMR and its impact on global health. Together, we can combat antimicrobial resistance and preserve the efficacy of these life-saving medicines for future generations. Let’s work towards a healthier and more sustainable future! #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek #AMR #GlobalHealth #AntimicrobialResistance #Healthcare #InfectionControl

Have you ever wondered what the world would look like if antibiotics stopped working entirely? Imagine a future where a simple cut or infection could lead to death. I know we don't want this reality, let's do better.😫 So, what can you do to help combat antimicrobial resistance? ⚕️Only use antibiotics when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. ⚕️Never pressure your doctor to prescribe antibiotics, and always follow their instructions carefully. ⚕️Finish the full course of treatment, even if you feel better, and never share antibiotics with others. ⚕️Beyond medication, focus on preventing infections in the first place by practicing good hygiene, getting vaccinated, and eating safe, properly prepared food... Remember that saying that prevention is better than cure. Let's continue to fight against Antimicrobial Resistance.⚕️💪 VoiceOver by Adenike Sulaimon. #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #HealthAwareness #FightAMR #GlobalHealth #Antibiotics #PublicHealth #HealthEducation #InfectionPrevention #PreventionIsBetterThanCure #StayHealthy #ResponsibleUseOfAntibiotics #StopAMR

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is directly responsible for 1.3 million deaths and a contributing factor to five million other fatalities every year. Everyone seems to have had a family member or friend who has either gotten seriously ill or died due to acquiring an infection that did not respond to prescribed medicines, and the underlying reason was often antimicrobial resistance. Yet, there are many ways of addressing this threat, from hygiene and sanitation to vaccination and avoiding overuse or misuse of medicines. Antimicrobial resistance is invisible, but its victims are not.  Together, we have the power to stop AMR in its tracks. More from World Health Organization: https://lnkd.in/eDZGbpDR

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐩𝐨𝐱: 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬 🦠 The most recent confirmed case of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) in India highlights the importance of awareness and proactive prevention. In a recent interview, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐮 𝐒𝐚𝐱𝐞𝐧𝐚, 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐤 𝐍𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐤 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥, emphasized that mpox primarily spreads through close contact, respiratory droplets, and contaminated surfaces. Key symptoms include fever, skin lesions, and swollen lymph nodes. While treatment options remain limited, early detection through testing and contact tracing is critical to preventing large-scale outbreaks. Vaccines like MVA-BN have been approved for preventive use. Public health efforts, especially in high-risk areas with limited healthcare infrastructure, remain essential. Simple measures like masking, hand hygiene, and avoiding contact with infected individuals can significantly reduce the risk. Together, we can control the spread of mpox by staying informed and vigilant. 🛡️ #MpoxAwareness #PublicHealth #PreventionIsBetter #HealthSafety #VigilanceInHealthcare

Preventable diseases still account for nearly 50% of deaths in low-income countries. #SDG3 strives to change this by ensuring everyone can access quality healthcare, vaccines, and essential medicines, focusing on universal health coverage and disease prevention. #SDGs
