Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern globally, posing a significant threat to public health. It occurs when microorganisms evolve and become resistant to drugs designed to combat them, rendering treatments ineffective. This phenomenon makes common infections harder to treat and increases the risk of spread, leading to longer illnesses, increased mortality rates, and higher healthcare costs. To prevent the further spread of AMR, responsible use of antimicrobial drugs is crucial. This involves only using antibiotics when necessary, ensuring they are prescribed correctly, and completing the full course of treatment as directed by healthcare professionals. Additionally, promoting good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, can help prevent infections and reduce the need for antibiotics. By working together, we can safeguard the effectiveness of antimicrobial drugs and ensure a healthier future for generations to come. #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #WHO #HealthcareonLinkedIn

#AMR is a #silentpandemic and one of the greatest threats to global health today. Adhering to #WHO guidelines and embracing #diagnosticstewardship are essential steps in addressing this crisis. By prioritizing early and accurate diagnosis, we can ensure the appropriate use of antibiotics, slow the spread of resistance, and safeguard the effectiveness of these life-saving drugs for future generations. It is time to act decisively to preserve our ability to treat infections and protect #publichealth. #AMR #GMSPakistan #bioMerieux

Thanks, AMR is one of the most important threats to global public health aspects and expected to be the next severe pandemic, in this concern, needs high quality global research to investigate: - Relationship between microbial biofilm formation and AMR. - application of the antibiofilm property of proteases to enhance and improve antibiotic therapy. - Antibiotic resistant gene transfer ( ARGs ) among different microorganisms. - Development and production of new antibiotics. - Probiotics as a universal antibody stimulant ( stimulates antibody responses to completely unrelated antigens) Finally, let’s do together to control the misuse and overuse of antibiotics.

Every minute, head injuries risk lives, especially in populous countries like India. Let's raise awareness this Head Injury Awareness Day. #GNRC #GNRCHospitals #HealthForAllSmilesForAll #HeadInjuryAwarenessDay

Some may think this is media amplification. It isn’t. I recieve between 15- 25 enquiries a day from people who have been let down by the NHS. Whilst not all enquiries are negligence based, they are clear examples of unacceptable medical treatment. I’m one lawyer in one firm. Imagine that level of enquiries accross all medical negligence lawyers and firms accross the country. Our healthcare system has some amazing staff and some brilliant hospitals, but the system itself is broken. I don’t have the answers to fix this but we need to urgently address the situation, which is costing lives and leaving people with serious physical and mental health conditions. Thanks to Action against Medical Accidents for continuing to raise awareness of patient safety issues. #Patientsafety #Avma #clinicalnegligence

There is no silence around excess deaths related to vaccines. There simply is no excess deaths. Sometimes, the results are being stretched into analysis that are not what the paper (BMJ) would conclude. As an example, while the paper, published, opens new tab by BMJ Public Health, discusses excess mortality during the 2020-2022 pandemic, it does not say COVID vaccines were driving the deaths. Even funnier, when correlating such « excess deaths », these peak line up with COVID death peaks, clearly showing that such is due to COVID itself. Even funnier, while trying to make COVID vaccines the culprit, the data shows that these vaccines have prevented deaths… And to make matters even more laughable, differences in how vaccines are perceived and used are seen in GOP vs Democrats, explaining why we saw more deaths in the GOP population.. Maybe Dr Philip McMillan should have read a bit more on the matter. Sometimes being mute (silence) also means being blind, or blinded… https://lnkd.in/eHZs5crX https://lnkd.in/ebWNbM56 https://lnkd.in/e2UDgfUE

National Injury Prevention Day raises awareness to help Canadians live longer, fuller lives. This year, @Parachute is shining the light on predictable and preventable injuries. Did you know? ⛑ Every day, 48 Canadians die and 634 are hospitalized because of injuries ⛑ Preventable injuries kill more Canadian children than any disease, and more youth than all other causes combined ⛑ Falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, hospitalizations, emergency department visits and disabilities in Canada Learn tips to stay safe ➡️ https://bit.ly/4bv8hny #ParachuteNIPD #TurnSafetyOn #InjuryPrevention #Alberta
