NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s message against the misuse of antibiotics is timely and draws attention to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) -- a very important health concern, said health experts on Monday.
PM Modi, in his last 'Mann Ki Baat' of the year on Sunday, warned people against the misuse of antibiotics and raised the concern of rising levels of AMR in the country.
The Prime Minister cited a recent alarming report by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), which stated that antibiotics are becoming less effective against diseases such as pneumonia and UTIs in India.
