This year during World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (18-24 November) the Public Health Agency (PHA) is asking everyone to pledge their support to help keep antibiotics working.
If we continue to use antibiotics at the current rate, we could face a return to the days before antibiotics, when people died from simple infections and where the risk of infection made routine surgery life-threatening.
We need health professionals and the public to pledge to do their bit to help keep antibiotics working. Healthcare professionals have a responsibility to educate and prescribe responsibly and the public can do their bit by not demanding antibiotics for viral infections and taking the advice of their pharmacist or doctor.
