The event aimed to raise awareness about antibiotics, increase awareness of global antibiotic resistance, and encourage best practices among the general public, health workers and policy makers to avoid the further emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections.
The Assistant Dean, Assistant Professor Dr. Ismail Hussein Aziz, opened the exhibition ceremony, which was held in the doctoral hall at the Institute, with the participation of professors, affiliates and students of the Institute.
This occasion coincides with the change in climate, which affects antimicrobial resistance, because rising temperatures affect the spread of microbes in the environment.
Antimicrobial resistance poses a global threat to human, animal, plant and environmental health. The response to antimicrobial resistance needs a “One Health” and “One Water” approach, which recognizes that human, environmental and animal health are inextricably linked.
