Fighting Antimicrobial Resistance

We now actively support the World Health Organization’s (WHO) – World Antimicrobial Awareness Week to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as next global health threat and to encourage best practices among the general public, health workers and policy makers. AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. 

Check out WHO site on Antimicrobial Resistance.

#Wound_Warriors

The objective of the campaign is to make Health Care Professionals aware of the role of wound management in the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance. We promote our Wound Warriors campaigns from our brands Leukoplast and Cutimed with the aim to recruit more “wound warriors”. Making our customers, partners and stakeholders learn more about antimicrobial resistance in wound care and discover we can support them in this fight.
