SaralnamaThe World Health Organization (WHO) released a report on about antibiotic resistance. WHO found that resistance to medicines is very high worldwide. This means common treatments for diseases like UTIs may not work. The report studied over 23 million infections from 104 countries. One in six bacterial infections globally were resistant to antibiotics in 2023. UTIs were most affected, with 1 in 3 patients facing resistant infections. Poor countries face a bigger problem. WHO urges countries to use more 'Access' group antibiotics by 2030. More countries are now tracking this issue, but gaps remain in some regions. (Updated 15 Oct 2025, 14:15 IST; source: link)
