Honoured to share my patient story with @gardp_amr. They are doing incredible work in Research & Discovery for new Antibiotics. Next to a lack of new antibiotics is the importance of how we use them responsibly so we equally slow down #AntibioticResistance 💊

All Health professionals, individuals and government need to play a part in the fight against Antibiotic resistence. We need good policies to address AMR and we need good adherence to the recommended doses. Just like COVID-19 we must deal with Antibiotic resistence ASAP.@_FaceSA

Random thoughts: As a patient who goes out daily with a #VisibleDifference I am often asked, "What happened to your face?"

The conversation usually starts with my accident and ends up with me explaining why the #Antibiotics (not drugs) didn't work.
