Can you imagine a world where all the drugs that act against pathogens that make us sick such as bacteria, viruses, fungi no longer work when we really need them to get us well again?

This is exactly what #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) will lead to.

We urge all Nigerians to prevent drug resistance by visiting a health facility if they fall ill and practice responsible use of antimicrobials.

Children are part of the vulnerable population that needs to be protected from infectious diseases through proper healthcare and vaccination.

Curb the spread of #AntimicrobialResistance among children.

Use antimicrobials as directed by a health worker to preserve the effectiveness of these medicines.

Visit a healthcare professional when sick of accurate diagnosis of infections. Do not self medicate.
