To raise community awareness and promote responsible action in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), FV Hospital once again joins thousands of healthcare organisations worldwide in celebrating World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) 2025.
This year’s event at FV Hospital runs from 17 to 21 November under the theme “Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future.” As a key annual initiative, the campaign will feature expert talks and educational activities to raise awareness about AMR prevention and control.
Why is antimicrobial resistance becoming a serious threat?
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is increasingly recognised as a major global health threat. When pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines, infections become difficult or sometimes impossible to treat. This leads to higher treatment costs, longer hospital stays, and an increased risk of mortality.
For this reason, healthcare facilities must strictly follow antibiotic safety and stewardship guidelines, while encouraging community cooperation in using antimicrobials appropriately and responsibly.

1. Opening Ceremony
- Time: 10:00 am, Monday, 17 November 2025

3. Other Activities: Interactive quiz games with exciting prizes at the mobile event booth, photo opportunities with the event slogan and themed frame, social media awareness activities in line with the 2025 theme.
FV Hospital hopes that, through World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 2025, our community will deepen its understanding of the dangers of AMR and take practical steps to protect their own health and that of their loved ones. Every responsible action today helps preserve a healthier, antimicrobial-free future.
