Antibiotics are lifesavers when used correctly but misuse can make infections harder to treat. 🦠💊

#AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) is a growing public health threat caused by self-medication, incomplete doses, and improper antibiotic use. Protect yourself and others by using antibiotics only as prescribed.

✅ Complete your medications
✅ Avoid self-medication
✅ Practice good hygiene
✅ Seek medical care when symptoms persist

Together, we can fight AMR and keep treatments effective for the future.

Every time we take medicine without knowing what we're treating, we increase the risk of drug resistance.

Your health matters and so does the future of life-saving medicines.

✅ Test before treatment.
✅ Take medicines only when and as prescribed.
✅ Be an #AMR ambassador

Together, we can protect the medicines that protect us.

Ebola and Hantavirus are NOT the same thing.

Hantavirus is associated with rodents and is mainly linked to exposure to contaminated rodent materials.

Ebola spreads through direct contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person or someone who has died from the disease.

NCDC continues to monitor both situations separately.
