Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

The World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week is annually observed from 18 to 24 November. This global initiative aims to raise awareness about the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, which occurs when pathogens become resistant to antimicrobial agents, making infections challenging to treat. The week-long campaign encourages education, advocacy, and immediate action to combat AMR. The theme for 2024, "Educate. Advocate. Act now," emphasizes the urgency and importance of collective efforts to address this critical public health issue. By observing this week, individuals and organizations can contribute to mitigating the risks associated with AMR.
