The issue of antibiotic resistance is one of the major threats to the world in terms of health and food safety. The use of antibiotics does not justify accelerating the occurrence of antibiotic resistance. Hence, UMMC has held the World Antibiotics Awareness Campaign Week on 21st November 2018 to raise awareness and educate the public on antibiotic resistance.
The ceremony was officiated by YM Prof. Dr. Tunku Kamarul Zaman bin Tunku Zainol Abidin, Director of UMMC. The theme selected this year was ‘Antibiotic Handle With Car’ and various activities were held such as exhibits, Antimicrobial Audit 5x5 programs in selected wards and antibiotic quizzes
