Maintaining the effectiveness of antibiotics is everyone's responsibility

World Antibiotic Resistance Week takes place every year from November 18 to 24, an initiative of the WHO, to better inform the general public (and healthcare professionals) about the ever-increasing risks associated with the inappropriate use of antibiotics. The latest data confirms the growing number of patients infected with resistant bacteria.

The main message of this mobilization against Antibiotic Resistance is that maintaining the effectiveness of antibiotics is the responsibility of each and every one of us.

Come and meet us to understand and discuss the reasons, challenges and innovations in the face of this growing phenomenon that affects all sectors!
