AMR: From National Concern to Clinical Action
In a recent Mann Ki Baat, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi highlighted a growing threat to public health — common infections are becoming harder to treat as antibiotics lose effectiveness, citing data generated by ICMR’s national AMR surveillance.
This is a crucial reminder that AMR is not a future risk — it is a present clinical reality, especially in infections such as pneumonia, UTIs, sepsis, and ICU-associated infections.
At RIVAARA, we believe antimicrobial stewardship begins with the laboratory.
Timely, accurate diagnostic insights can help:
Identify the true causative pathogen
Detect key resistance mechanisms early
Reduce unnecessary empirical antibiotic escalation
Support evidence-based, targeted therapy.
Our diagnostic panels are designed to support clinicians in making faster, informed treatment decisions, aligning with national AMR containment goals outlined by ICMR.
🔬 Right diagnosis → Right antibiotic → Right time
This is how laboratories and clinicians can work together to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics for future generations.
