A promise to the patient we haven't met yet.

Behind every antibiotic decision is a patient we may never meet. This is our promise to them, and an open invitation to add yours.

Why it matters

Antimicrobial resistance is shaped one decision at a time. So is the response to it.

Resistant infections are making treatment decisions more complex for clinicians across the Gulf and around the world. Responsible use today helps preserve effective options for the patients who will need them next.

1.27 million

deaths worldwide in 2019 were directly attributable to bacterial antimicrobial resistance.1

Every prescription

The right agent, at the right dose, for the right duration helps keep antibiotics working.2

A shared responsibility

Clinicians, pharmacists, microbiologists, stewardship teams and industry each hold part of the answer.
