IIMAR has planned to conduct India’s first nationwide
antimicrobial resistance awareness campaign during November 13th to 19th, 2017
in association with Doctors For You -DFY, Mumbai. and Antibiotic Resistance Lab, VIT university, Vellore,Tamilnadu. WHO has announced world antibiotic
awareness week during Nov, 13th-19th,
2017 with a theme “Seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional
before taking antibiotics” and we will emphasize this in our campaign.
In
line with the thought process of the "Action against Antimicrobial Resistance operationalization plan consultation"
held in Delhi by NCDC, we propose
to organize a sensitisation and awareness campaign among medical,
nursing and pharmacy workforce and general public across states in India.
The campaign will involve components
such as lectures, videos, distribution of pamphlets/ brochures, poster making competition, slogan competition,
essay competition, media campaigns, internet based social media etc.
We
also plan to disseminate the antibiotic resistance awareness message through community
radio stations across India.
We
invite you to join and help us in any way you can (human resource, materials, funds etc as per
your wish). Please mail us at iimaraction@gmail.com or antibio.resistance@gmail.com
