In places where MSF operates, getting access to the right antibiotics is a matter of life or death - but what happens when they stop working? In this episode of Everyday Emergency, we find out about antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Antibiotics are the cornerstone of modern medicine, treating a vast range of infections. But, over the last few years we've been seeing a troubling phenomenon where the standard antibiotics used to treat some diseases have simply stopped working.
This is known as AMR, which is when some of the bugs which cause disease mutate and find ways to avoid the effective elements of antibiotic medicines.
What can be done when this happens and what steps is MSF taking to tackle AMR more broadly? We speak to AMR expert Mohamad Khalife.
