It’s World #AMR Awareness Week.

Did you know misusing antibiotics leads to drug resistance and side effects?

Learn about #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) 👉bit.ly/AMRweek2025
A graphic with the title “Test your antibiotic knowledge!” followed by a pill and question-mark icon. Below, a speech bubble labelled “False” with a red X reads: “Antibiotics are safe to use without a prescription.” Another speech bubble labelled “True” with a green checkmark reads: “Only use antibiotics if prescribed. Taking antibiotics when you don’t need them can lead to resistance and side effects.”
