SUMMARY:World Antimicrobial Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) aims to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance and to encourage best practices among the general public\, health workers and policy makers to avoid the further emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria\, viruses\, fungi\, and parasites resist the effects of medications\, making common infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread\, severe illness and death. Antimicrobials are used to fight diseases in humans\, animals and plants and include antibiotic\, antiviral\, antifungal and antiparasitic medicines. \nA global action plan to tackle the growing problem of resistance to antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines was endorsed at the Sixty-eighth World Health Assembly in May 2015. One of the key objectives of the plan is to improve awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance through effective communication\, education and training. WAAW is celebrated annually from 18 to 24 November.
