Antibiotic Awareness Event 13th July 2017

Posted on

A big thank you to everyone who supported the event.

This event was organised after feedback received from both the Romanian patients and colleagues that the Romanian community expect antibiotics to be prescribed to kill viruses and believe antibiotics are an efficient cure for the flu.

The event had a good turn out and the patients who attended felt it was informative and would like more meetings for patient education.

Patients were explained that Antibiotic resistance is one of the most significant threats to patients’ safety in Europe. It is driven by overusing antibiotics.
