The lecture, which has been presented by Lect. Tariq Hussein Musa, and Lect. Zahraa Muhammad Al-Hindawi, includes defining mechanism of antibiotics, which is one of the most prevalent drugs.
Lect. Tariq Hussein Musa, says: “some people resort to antibiotics all the time, believing that they are valid for every diseased condition, but the truth is completely different. Rather, taking them without a doctor’s approval and according to certain conditions may have fatal consequences”.
The campaign aims at raising awareness of antibiotic resistance and encourage best practices among the general public to avoid spread of drug-resistant infections.
