Antibiotic Resistance Crisis; Prevent Viral Bacterial Infections | WHO | Sehatnama – UN meeting on antibiotic resistance: Medicines are becoming ineffective, millions of lives may be lost by 2050, 10 doctor’s tips Achi-News

What do we do if we have any disease? The answer is to go to the doctor, take some medicines and get better. Now imagine what would happen if these medicines became ineffective. The disease will progress, the body will weaken, and diseases will take over and eventually death will occur.

This is what is happening in the world at the moment, which the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations are concerned about. Yesterday on September 26, a high level meeting of the United Nations was held to find a solution to the threat of antimicrobial resistance. It included representatives from all countries of the world, civil society and international health organizations.

According to a study recently published in the world famous journal ‘The Lancet’, 3 crore 90 lakh people may die in the next 25 years due to antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance.

This question has not been raised for the first time, but the important thing is that the crisis is increasing with time. We have already mentioned this in detail in two of our articles.

So today once againIn the medical record‘I will know why this objection arises. Why do medicines become ineffective? You will also learn that-

Question: Why is the entire world health community so concerned about the ‘Antibiotic Resistance Study’ published in ‘The Lancet’?

answer: The World Health Organization (WHO) had expressed concern about superbugs some time ago. It was also said that we must avoid overusing antibiotics, otherwise there will come a time when medicines will completely fail and will have no effect on diseases.

Now a study published in ‘Lancet’ says that 3 crore 90 lakh people could die in the next 25 years due to antimicrobial resistance. This means that many medicines will become ineffective in the time to come. So this can be a big crisis.

Question: Why does this situation arise that the medicines that were made to cure diseases, have started to become ineffective.

answer: The rule of this world is that only that organism survives, which continues to become stronger by adapting itself to the new environment. Mosquitoes did the same. He first learned to fight with mortuary smoke. Then with poisoned incense sticks and then with a quick card. They continue to increase their opposition and have now become very powerful.

Similarly, many pathogens have learned to resist antibiotics. Now medicines have no effect on them. Therefore, the diseases for which these medicines were earlier used to show an immediate effect now prove ineffective because the pathogens become resistant to antimicrobial drugs. See in the graphic why this happened.

Question: Why is antimicrobial resistance such a big threat?

answer: In the times to come, the number of such superbugs ie pathogens on which all medicines will be ineffective will increase. In such a situation, it will be difficult for people to face them. Many common diseases will also begin to cause death. It is also possible that the dangerous situation that scientists imagine in the future will become even more difficult.

Question: Who is responsible for this situation? People or doctors?

answer: Dr Vijay Saxena says that both have shared responsibility in this situation due to antimicrobial resistance. Governments and healthcare systems around the world are also responsible.

The problem is that every street today is full of quacks, who have no proper education or medical degree. Poverty is so high that the number of people who go to such doctors is also very high. This is the reason why antibiotics and antimicrobial medicines are given in very large quantities and with very high potency.

The health care system is so expensive that people buy medicines directly from medical stores to avoid long doctor costs. The government and this system are responsible for both of these situations.

Question: What mistakes and negligence occurred on the part of ordinary people?

answer: Most people consider not going to hospital sick as saving money rather than being careless. They buy medicines from Google themselves or go to the medical store and consume them. The result of these little carelessness is before us today.

Question: What is the role of pharmaceutical companies that make medicines in this regard?

answer: Dr. Vijay Saxena says that the biggest crisis in our country at the moment is that there is no proper structure and system in terms of the medicine manufacturing companies. Medicines are produced in bulk and quack doctors also prescribe them. Here too, it is very important to have strict rules and government surveillance.

The World Health Organization had issued advice to doctors around the world to prescribe fewer medicines and prescribe antibiotics only when absolutely necessary. In June this year, ICMR also said that doctors in India write wrong prescriptions for every second patient and give more medicines than needed.

Question: The medical community is working side by side to deal with this crisis. What precautions do ordinary people need to take?

answer: In case of a small cold and cough, instead of going to the medical shop immediately and getting medicine, we should rest. Seasonal colds and coughs are cured on their own in 2-3 days. Never take antibiotics without a doctor’s advice.

Instead of relying on medicines, focus on good health and strong immunity. A good and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle can be a better option.
