The Head of the Pharmacy Department of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Professor Kwame Ohene Buabeng, has called for stringent measures to control the sale and use of antibiotics to curb the rising incidence of resistance to antimicrobials.
He said the irrational and inappropriate use of antibiotics by people and their application in agriculture were the major causes of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
AMR is a situation that makes the use of antibiotics ineffective when taken to fight the growth of bacteria, viruses and fungi.
According to him, close to 700,000 people died annually as a result of AMR, and that the number could rise to 10 million by 2050 if no deliberate interventions were put in place to check the misuse of the drugs.
