World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 2026

 

One Health, One Action:
Prevent Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Now.

 

Our health is connected. Protecting antibiotics is everyone’s responsibility.

When bacteria become resistant, antibiotics no longer work, making infections harder to treat. Resistant bacteria can spread among people, animals, and the environment, including through water and food. That is why we need One Health: working together to protect the health of people, animals, plants, and the environment.

Everyone can help by using antibiotics only when prescribed by a doctor or veterinarian, following treatment instructions, handling food safely and hygienically, and not disposing of medicines down the drain.
