What is the Significance and Theme of the World Antibiotic Awareness Week? 3. 2. 1. As part of the World Antibiotic Awareness Week, the World Health Organization (WHO) has developed banners, posters, and infographics every year to focus on educating people about antibiotics, antibiotics resistance, and misuse of antibiotics. The theme of the World Antibiotic Awareness Week (WAAW) is to provide excellent flexibility to countries in terms of reflecting their priorities regarding the antibiotic resistance as well as to enable them to increase awareness about antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is seriously high in all parts of the world. Infections like pneumonia, foodborne diseases, and tuberculosis have become difficult to treat because of antibiotic resistance.

An effective way of preventing the antibiotic resistance is by using antibiotics only when these medicines are prescribed by doctors. A person can also avoid taking antibiotics if so has been suggested by your doctor. Some small habitual changes like washing hands regularly, avoiding close contact with unwell people, keeping your vaccinations up to date, and practicing safe sex is an effective way to reduce antibiotic resistance. One of the best ways to prevent antibiotic resistance is to prepare your food hygienically, by keeping them clean, cooking food thoroughly, and keeping food at safe temperatures. For cooking make sure you use clean and safe water and with fresh raw materials. Also, it is important to consume only those foods which are produced without the use of antibiotics.
