SARAYA joins World AMR Awareness Week 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious issue caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, developing resistance to antibiotics, rendering traditional antimicrobial drugs ineffective and leading to the spread of infections. The overuse or misuse of antibiotics is the main cause of AMR, as microorganisms evolve and adjust to avoid their effects.

The upcoming World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) is dedicated to raising awareness about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and encouraging best practices in its prevention and control. This year’s theme, “Educate. Advocate. Act now.” emphasizes the importance of acquiring accurate knowledge and encourages as many people as possible to support it and take action.

There are various ways to engage and help spread the message globally, including sharing your stories on social media, participating in webinars, organizing events at your hospitals, having discussion panels, or simply showing your support by "Go Blue for AMR" on social media to raise awareness. Apart from this, you can utilize the original posters we prepared for this year’s campaign to help raise awareness in your facilities during this week. These posters are available for download below.

Feel free to download and use the original SARAYA posters that we prepared for this year’s campaign.
