It’s World Antimicrobial Awareness Day
Imagine a world free from antimicrobial resistance, AMR. On the occasion of World Antimicrobial Awareness Day, we are sharing EUROCAM‘s position paper on this topic because health policies need to put more emphasis on health promotion in the European population, in order to tackle the issue of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).
The paper covers various topics, including:
- an efficient immune system, also
- definition of health according to WHO, and
- an effective and sustainable approach to health strategy, plus
- the strategy to reduce AMR.
