International Health Day: antibiotics under the spotlight
In the context of International Health Day and the “One Health” summit in Lyon, Spain has been recognized for reducing the use of antibiotics in animals by 70% between 2014 and 2024.
This achievement, which positions our country as a global benchmark in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), contrasts with a reality we encounter daily in medical consultations: the persistent demand for antibiotics from the public to treat infections that, in most cases, do not require them.
