Celebrated between 18-24 November each year, the World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) aims to increase awareness of global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and to encourage best practices to avoid the further emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections
The WAAW is organized under the strategy and guidelines established within the Tripartite (FAO, OIE and WHO) at a global level. For this year, the strategy consists in the launch of global campaign colour campaign and the theme chosen is “Spread Awareness, Stop Resistance”

Drawing from the Antimicrobials: Handle with Care slogan the colour light blue has been selected for the campaign. We hope that campaign participants, buildings, or landmarks will ‘Go Blue’ during this week
