It is World Antimicrobial Awareness Week.

#AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial agents.

Learn more 👉bit.ly/3EDiFLB

https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1593510311146962945

As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents become ineffective and infections become difficult or impossible to treat, increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death.

#AntimicrobialResistance

https://twitter.com/WHO/status/1593510311146962945

⚠ In 2019, nearly 5 million human deaths worldwide were associated with bacterial #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) and 1.27 million human deaths were directly attributable to it.

Today is #WorldPrematurityDay.

Globally, more than 1 in 10 of all babies are born preterm - before 37 weeks of pregnancy.
Babies #BornTooSoon deserve every chance to live, 💕 and thrive.

More: bit.ly/3CpTJDO

Complications relating to preterm births are now the leading cause of death for children under 5.

Most could be prevented with the right care before, during and after childbirth bit.ly/3CpTJDO

#BornTooSoon

Depending on where they are born, there remain significant disparities in a preterm baby’s chances of survival.

In high-income countries, most #BornTooSoon (at or after 28 weeks) will survive.
In poorer countries survival rates can be as low as 1 in 10 bit.ly/3CpTJDO
