Use Case 5. Stop Antibiotics: A test that can be used for a baby who is already admitted to a health facility and who has already received at least one day of antibiotics for a possible serious bacterial infection. The test is to help the healthcare worker decide if the antibiotics can stop. If the test is positive this means that the baby is likely to have a serious bacterial infection. (...) If the test is negative, this means that the baby is highly unlikely to have a serious bacterial infection. The antibiotics can stop. If the baby is still unwell, the healthcare worker should consider other reasons for their illness.

  Take concrete steps to fight antibiotic resistance, turn pledges into action: WHO

Inappropriate use of antibiotics – whether through taking them when they are not required; taking an incomplete course; or taking them too regularly – makes bacterial infections immune to antibiotics. Globally 700 000 people die every year as a result of once-treatable health conditions. In the South-East Asia Region, health sector gaps coupled with dense populations and sub-optimal sanitation contributes to a breeding ground for bacterial infections. This is already leading to loss of lives, long-term suffering, disability, and reduced productivity and earnings. (...) Governments must take strong measures to stop over-the-counter availability of antibiotics, while strengthening and enforcing legislation to prevent the manufacture, sale and distribution of substandard antibiotics.

(...) All these factors combined with drug-resistant microbes being exchanged among people, animals and the environment, make this silent pandemic even harder to stop. COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of working across sectors and regions to preserve our global health. (...) Only a coordinated One Health response will do as resistant microbes arising in humans, animals, plants or the environment spread from one to the other and do not stop at borders. We also need to work towards developing robust surveillance frameworks and ensuring solid supply chains of available antimicrobials to ensure access, while also doubling our efforts to strengthen prudent use.
