Millennium Fellowship Project: Mitigating Antibiotic Resistance
Problem statement
Antibiotic resistance is when bacteria develop resistance and cease to respond to
antibiotics.lt is one of the top ten global health threat.A new study revealed that in
2019 antibiotic resistance killed 1,27 million , more than AlDS and Malaria annual
deaths.There are many causes of antibiotic resistance but the main driver is misuse
and overuse of antibiotics.To combat this problem the World Health Organization in
2015 ,endorsed the global action plan which have objectives to tackle antibiotic
resistance.The first strategic objective is :to improve awareness and understanding of
antibiotic resistance through effective communication , education and training.Misuse
of antibiotics is not only through human consumption but farmers are also giving
antibiotics to animals unnecessarily.
My Project
My project aim is to educate and raise awareness on proper use of antibiotics.My
target population will be school pupils ,farmers and general public.We intend to
educate school children on proper use of antibiotics through visits to primary and
secondary schools in Zimbabwe.Through television and radio shows we will reach
many people educating them .We will also raise awareness to farmers targeting the
reduction of antibiotics in animal sector.
