Having
secured support nationally from the Prime Minister and UK Government
for the need to action, Dame Sally Davies is working tirelessly
internationally to increase global awareness and secure commitments to
action on antibiotic resistance.
In this Discourse, Dame Sally
explores why antimicrobial resistance has developed to such an extent
that it is now a threat to modern medicine. She looks at how it is
spreading across the globe, why we need to urgently change our attitude
towards antimicrobials, in particular antibiotics, so that we treat them
as a common good – not only in health but also in agriculture, farming,
aquaculture and the environment.
Antimicrobials are a wonder
drug, but only when used effectively. If we do not learn how to look
after them, we could see a return to ‘pre-antibiotic era’ where 40%
mortality is due to infections – something that is difficult to believe
now.
Dame Sally Davies is the Chief Medical Officer of the
UK, acting as the UK government’s principal medical adviser and the
professional head of all directors of public health in local government.
