The theme for this year's campaign is "Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future," emphasizing the urgency of addressing AMR to prevent the emergence of drug-resistant infections. The campaign encourages best practices among the public, healthcare workers, animal health professionals, environmentalists, farmers, policymakers, the youth, civil society, and media to reduce the spread of AMR. Activities include high-level events, global youth summits, technical webinars, panel discussions, and more, organized worldwide to raise awareness and promote safe and sustainable antibiotic use.
