It's #WorldAntibioticAwarenessWeek 💊

Misusing and overusing #antibiotics puts us ALL at risk.

You can play a crucial role in reducing #antibioticresistance: only use antibiotics when they were prescribed by a qualified health professional!

@WHOThailand @WHOSriLanka @WHOIndonesia @WHO @WHOTimorLeste @MoHmv @MoHFW_INDIA @UNinIndia @UN_Nepal @MoHFW_GUJARAT The future of #antibiotics depends on all of us.

Drug-resistance is circulating among humans, animals and the environment. #Antibiotic resistance occurs naturally, but misuse of antibiotics in humans and animals is accelerating the process.

✅ only for you
❌ not your family
❌ not your friends
❌ not your partner

Never share antibiotics with anybody!
#AntibioticResistance is accelerated by the misuse of antibiotics.
