Using Antibiotics On Healthy Animals Promotes Drug Resistance - W.H.O
The World Health Organization (W.H.O) has urged farmers to stop using antibiotics on healthy animals as the practice fuels dangerous drug-resistant infections in people.
Describing a lack of effective antibiotics for humans as “a security threat” on a par with “a sudden and deadly disease outbreak”, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said “strong and sustained action across all sectors” was vital to turn back the tide of resistance and “keep the world safe”.
