Stopping superbugs around the world
EDUCATING THE NEXT GENERATION IN TANZANIA
Why Tanzania?
Superbugs are a major problem in Tanzania. There are high levels of inappropriate use of antimicrobial medicine in both human and agricultural sectors and a very low awareness of the issue among public, professionals and policy makers. Antibiotics can be purchased widely without prescription, and regulation of community pharmacies is difficult and poorly resourced.Our project
