Use Antibiotics Wisely.......that is the message coming from The World Health Organisation (WHO)

Antibiotic resistance happens when bacteria change and become resistant to the antibiotics used to treat the infection they cause.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health today effecting anyone, of any age, in any country!

What you can do.......

• Only use antibiotics when prescribed by a certified health professional
• Always take the full prescription even if you feel better
• Never use left over antibiotics
• Never share antibiotics with others
• Prevent infections by regularly washing your hands, avoiding close contact with sick people and keeping your vaccinations up to date
