Raising awareness and educating on antimicrobial resistance

Improving awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance and promoting expert-driven behavioural change, through effective communication, education and training is critical to tackling the global issues of antimicrobial awareness.

Targeting audiences in human health, animal health and agricultural practice as well as consumers must be addressed and appropriately guided in the appropriate use and prescription of antimicrobials.

Making antimicrobial resistance a core component of professional education, training, certification, continuing education and development in the health and veterinary sectors and agricultural practice will help to ensure proper understanding and awareness among professionals.
