Antibiotics: overuse & misuse
Taking antibiotics? Be responsible!
Antibiotics have dramatically reduced the number of deaths from infectious diseases in the last 70 years. But through overuse and misuse, many micro-organisms have become resistant, making them less effective.
It's estimated that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) results in 25,000 deaths and costs of over €1.5 billion every year.
