Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 25884, member: 2262"] Zimbabwe is taking big steps to fight against medicines that don't work anymore. These medicines used to help sick people and animals, but they have stopped working because people used them incorrectly. Many people died in 2019 because medicines couldn't fight their infections. The country wants to change this. Yesterday, it announced a new plan to help people, animals, and the environment stay healthy. It believes all these things are connected, like pieces of a puzzle. The United Kingdom is helping Zimbabwe with money and support. This will allow Zimbabwe to monitor problems and make better rules about how people use medicines. Dr Douglas Mombeshora, who helps care for people's health in Zimbabwe, says this is very important. He thinks if they don't fix this problem, it could hurt the country's money and make many people sick. Zimbabwe's earlier plan helped nurses learn about this problem and ensured hospitals and animal doctors had the medicines they needed. The new plan wants to teach more people about the problem, check how medicines are working, and find better ways to use them. Dr. Mombeshora wants everyone to work together. He says doctors, farmers, scientists, and people who make rules all need to help. The government will provide money and people to ensure everyone can have the medicines they need. Other important people in Zimbabwe are helping with this plan. Dr Anxious Masuka, who helps farmers, says they have learned a lot from their first plan and want to do even better with this new one. Dr Sithembiso Nyoni, who takes care of the environment, says it's important to keep harmful things out of nature. Dr Pratrice Talla, who knows about farming and food, says they need to be careful about giving medicines to animals. Many families in Zimbabwe keep chickens for food and to make money. If they use too many medicines for their animals, it could make both animals and people sick. [/QUOTE]
