Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future#go blue for AMR
What is World antimicrobial Awareness week?
The World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) is a global campaign to raise awareness and increase understanding of AMR and to promote global action to tackle the emergence and spread of drug-resistant pathogens. As one of WHO’s official health campaigns, WAAW is mandated by the World Health Assembly and is commemorated annually from 18 to 24 November.
The theme for WAAW 2025 is “Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future.”
This theme underscores the urgent need to take bold, united action to address AMR. AMR is already harming our health, food systems, environment and economies. It’s not a future challenge. It is happening now. Drug-resistant infections are increasing, yet awareness, investment and action are still falling short.
Understanding antimicrobial resistance
The Growing Threat
Bacteria evolve to resist our strongest medicines. Overuse and misuse accelerate this process.
Global Impact
AMR causes 700,000 deaths annually worldwide. This number could reach 10 million by 2050.
