Antimicrobial Resistance

"The evolving threat of antimicrobial resistance - Options for action". Policy document from WHO

A crisis has been building up over decades, meaning that today common yet life-threatening infections are becoming difficult or even impossible to treat. WHO is calling for much stronger action worldwide to avert an ever-increasing health and economic burden. It is an important issue of which all practising physiotherapists and physical therapists must be aware.

"The evolving threat of antimicrobial resistance - Options for action" describes examples of policy activities that have addressed antimicrobial resistance in different parts of the world, with the aim of raising awareness and in particular to stimulate further co-ordinated efforts.
