‘Tackling antimicrobial resistance is a global challenge and a high priority for EMA and the European medicines regulatory network. We all have a role to play in addressing this challenge: regulators, governments, companies through development of new innovative antibiotics, but also healthcare professionals and patients by making sure they prescribe and use antibiotics wisely and responsibly.’ said Emer Cooke, EMA’s Executive Director.
To mark EAAD, EMA launched a social media campaign to highlight the importance of using antibiotics prudently.
