Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a great challenge to health systems all over the world. It is exacerbated by the abuse, misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in humans, animals, plants and the environment. This viewpoint emphasizes the critical need to address the challenges of AMR through an integrated, long-term approach that focuses on education, advocacy and collective action. This article stresses that the fight against AMR is not a battle for governments and scientists alone but requires engagement at every level. The article concludes that we can reduce the spread of AMR by exploring the potential of education, advocacy and collective action.
