Experts Urge MBBS Curriculum Overhaul to Curb Antibiotic Misuse

Experts Urge MBBS Curriculum Overhaul to Curb Antibiotic Misuse

Doctors are worried because the medicine that fights infections, antibiotics, is not working as well anymore.

This is because of people using antibiotics too much or incorrectly.

Experts at a conference said medical schools need to teach future doctors how to use antibiotics the right way.

They also want to teach doctors how to use antibiotics more carefully and only when needed.

If this doesn't happen, simple infections could become very dangerous in the future.

They also say that antibiotics can be cheaper than some medical tests which means they are being overused.

Finally, awareness campaigns are necessary to make sure that everyone understands the seriousness of the issue.
