Enhancing antimicrobial stewardship and health literacy in Europe – moving forward through education and empowerment

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a silent, growing pandemic of global proportions and impact. This commentary encourages relevant stakeholders to increase their joint commitment to collaboration and systemic action, dedicated antibiotic stewardship and health literacy including a stronger, evidence-based self-care to contribute to solving the AMR challenge. Key factors such as the removal of inadequate access to antibiotics, e.g. over-the-counter (OTC) sale of antibiotics, improving self-care and hygiene can help fight the increasing burden of AMR. Along with the increase in health care literacy, these measures can be implemented swiftly to combat the growing rate of AMR development.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a silent, growing pandemic of global proportions and impact. This commentary encourages relevant stakeholders to increase their joint commitment to collaboration and systemic action, dedicated antibiotic stewardship and health literacy including a stronger, evidence-based self-care to contribute to solving the AMR challenge. Key factors such as the removal of inadequate access to antibiotics, e.g. over-the-counter (OTC) sale of antibiotics, improving self-care and hygiene can help fight the increasing burden of AMR. Along with the increase in health care literacy, these measures can be implemented swiftly to combat the growing rate of AMR development.
