TB highlights the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). @Ptisile , a healthcare activist , battled a drug-resistant strain that nearly killed her. Now, she’s raising awareness about superbugs and the global danger they pose. #AMR #EndTB ft.com/content/00d5e0…

@theAMRnarrative @reactgroup CT: 🌟 To become a leader in tackling AMR, start with small, impactful actions. Educate your community, advocate for responsible antibiotic use, and engage with policymakers to push for stronger regulations and increased research. #theAMRnarrative

CT: #Useyourvoice! Use antibiotics only when needed, tell your family & friends about #AMR, talk to your GP, become active on social media, ask your local health services about AMR actions, write a letter to your MP, & find allies. Everyone can make a difference! #TheAMRNarrative

@theAMRnarrative @reactgroup CT: Support research & innovation: Encourage investment in AMR research and development of new treatments. #theAMRnarrative

CT: Anyone can become a leader in tackling #AMR by starting with small actions, like spreading awareness in your community or advocating for responsible antibiotic use. #theAMRnarrative

@theAMRnarrative @reactgroup Patients and carers can drive change by sharing their AMR stories on social media through videos and podcasts. This storytelling not only humanizes AMR but also raises awareness and creates urgency. #theAMRnarrative
