Engaged Students

Engaging students in work to curb AMR is a crucial investment into the future whilst also harnessing the unique skills, ideas, and momentum young people have to further the cause in the present. Students’ insight and influence can revolutionise efforts to address AMR, centralising the issue in the social and political conscience both now and for years to come.

Students are an important and valuable stakeholder in addressing the global threat of Antimicrobial Resistance. They possess an immense potential to drive positive behavior change as well as initiating novel interventions that can help curtail the threat of Antimicrobial Resistance.

Students are the future One Health professionals, and our chances of successfully curbing AMR are quite high if we engage and involve as much students as possible, especially with a collaborative theme central to it, be it in Education and Awareness, Infection Prevention Control, Surveillance, Research and Development or Innovation Technology.

As a student, I try to do whatever I can to contribute to the fight of AMR- whether it would be through research or raising awareness. I think educating young people about AMR is the most important because they have endless possibilities of improving the world in the future.

Antimicrobial Resistance is a complex problem that requires complex solutions where students from different disciplines - from medicine to law - could significantly reduce this global threat.
