Health ministry warns on AMR, urges responsible drug use

Health officials dropped warnings about antibiotic resistance turning into a legit crisis that kills more people than HIV and malaria combined across Africa. The Ministry of Health teamed up with UN groups at a warehouse in Kotu to explain how overusing meds creates super bacteria that spreads through livestock and wrecks entire food chains.

Momodou Barrow from WHO said resistant infections already kill over a million people globally per year, and projections show that number hitting 10 million by mid-century without major changes. Officials told farmers to chill with the antibiotics and focus more on vaccinations since resistant germs from animals eventually jump into human populations through contaminated food.
