How can I get involved?
WHO, alongside the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Organisation for Animal Health, is developing a range of materials which will be available to the public in October. In the meantime, you can continue to spread the word and start planning now by:Organizing events or activities in your workplace, community, school, university.
Spreading the word - you can find lots of information from last year's campaign on the WAAW website, and more social media materials will be available soon. Get active on your social media accounts and get your networks involved.
Reaching out to your local government representatives, local leaders or influencers and encouraging them to take action on antibiotic resistance.
Leading by example: ensure you only take antibiotics if prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional, practice good hand hygiene, and never share or use leftover antibiotics.
