🔹 He identified the indiscriminate use of antibiotics without medical prescription (over-the-counter use) as the biggest reason behind the growing AMR threat.

🔍 What is AMR?

📌 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1.2 million people die globally every year due to antimicrobial resistance.
