Today is World Health Day and this year's focus is on Antimicrobial Resistance. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that Antimicrobial resistance is not a new problem but is becoming more dangerous and urgent and consolidated efforts are needed to avoid regressing to the pre-antibiotic area. For World Health Day, WHO will be calling for intensified global commitment to safeguard antibiotics for generations. Antimicrobial resistance threatens the effectiveness of many medicines used today to treat infectious diseases.
SafetySkills™ is committed to help prevent antimicrobial resistance and is showcasing the Flu Symptoms and Prevention Strategies course to show the importance of infection prevention and control practices. This free course is available at http://www.safetyskills.com/flu-symptoms-and-prevention. The WHO states that poor infection prevention and control practices are one of the underlying factors that drive antimicrobial resistance.
The WHO determines that if the use and misuse of antimicrobials continues unchecked, many infectious diseases risk becoming uncontrollable and could derail progress made towards reaching the health related United Nations Millennium Development Goals for 2015. This World Health Day, The WHO will call on everyone “to think, act and take responsibility for combating drug resistance.” In response to this, SafetySkills™ is also offering the Bloodborne Pathogens course which is available at http://www.safetyskills.com/online-bloodborne-pathogens-training . This course along with the Flu Symptoms course will assist the WHO in reaching their goal by making the learner more aware of the spread of infectious diseases and how to prevent it.
