The Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Crisis in Vietnam

Between 2020 and 2023, over 300,000 people in Vietnam died because antibiotics were no longer effective against infections. This is framed not just as a statistic, but as the equivalent of an entire city's population being wiped out. This highlights the severity of the AMR crisis.

Sandos Vietnam's AMR Campaign

In response to this crisis, Sandos Vietnam launched an Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) campaign on November 24th of the previous year. This campaign was a collaboration with the Vietnam Retail Association.

Campaign Message: "Don't Let the Miracle of Antibiotics Disappear"

The core message of the campaign is to emphasize the importance of preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics. The campaign aims to educate the public that antibiotics are not for minor ailments like sore throats or acute fevers.

Antibiotics as the Bedrock of Modern Medicine

The speaker emphasizes that antibiotics are fundamental to modern medicine. Without effective antibiotics, even routine surgeries become incredibly risky. Furthermore, advancements in cancer treatments would be undermined. This underscores the critical role antibiotics play in various medical procedures and treatments.
