Since 2018 we have been tackling this issue in Nepal through our AMR (Drug Resistant Infection) Awareness Programme, working with various stakeholders and communities to develop sustainable solutions. Our aims are to: 

• increase awareness of antimicrobial resistance in the user population 
• encourage the change of behaviour towards medically appropriate use of antibiotics. 

The programme has several strands:  

1. ‘AMR Diaries’ with pharmacists in Lalitpur, Kathmandu 
2. Science Theatre: ‘Bichara Antibiotics – a play about antimicrobial resistance’ 
3. Community events to mark World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 
4. Singing the Songs of Antibiotics.
