AMR Awareness Week Post

Each year, World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week reminds us of the importance of using these essential medications responsibly. Antimicrobial resistance—when bacteria and other microorganisms are no longer killed by antimicrobials—is a growing threat to public health worldwide.

At the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) is at the heart of the fight against this phenomenon. Its goal is to ensure the safe, effective, and judicious use of antibiotics through education, research, surveillance, and clinical support.
