We have a trivia question for you.
We want to know how you handle antibiotics and your knowledge of responsible #antibioticuse
If you were in this situation, what would you do?
Let us know in the comments.

to advance awareness, collaboration, and action against antimicrobial resistance.
Together, we can protect the effectiveness of life-saving medicines for generations to come. The fight against AMR is everyone’s responsibility!

Bhakti Chavan and @MSF are our #AMRChampions!
She went through rounds of #AntibioticTherapy to no avail as she had drug-resistant TB until MSF stepped in with a new drug.
She chose to share her story so people can know more about this threat, and that's no small feat
Do you think screening matters to #AMR?
Join the @theAMRnarrative webinar, Oct 28 which will include patient voices health professionals and others to explore this topic further

#AMR is not just a common cold that takes longer to resolve.
It can mean:
• Surgical failure
• Chemotherapy failure
• Higher hospital bills
• Longer hospital stays
• Losing a loved one
@VCarterAMR is a living testimony to the devastating reality of antimicrobial resistance

@LawalOluku is our champion for this week!
He was a victim of a health system that misdiagnosed him, leading him to take multiple antibiotics for what was supposed to be a UTI.
Now, he is a member of the @WHO AMR Taskforce of Survivors!

Everyone who sets out on a journey deserves to arrive safely.
Yet every minute, more than two people lose their lives on the world’s roads.
My friend @JeanTodt and I have arrived in New York for the UN High Level Meeting on #RoadSafety with one message for world leaders: invest in safer road systems now. Lives depend on it
Vanessa Carter AMR 🇬🇧🇿🇦 retweeted
We totally agree
More work needs to be done in the surveillance and research area
Vanessa Carter AMR 🇬🇧🇿🇦 retweeted
Data alone doesn't improve healthcare; better decisions do.
The strongest health systems don't just collect data; they use evidence to identify risks, improve processes, and deliver safer, higher-quality care.
How has data informed a key decision in your organisation?
