Latest data reveals a 2% increase in antimicrobial use in animals between 2019 & 2021, after several years of decline.
Antimicrobials are critical medicines whose effectiveness must be preserved through their proper use across different sectors. #AntimicrobialResistance

Here is a reminder that animal, human and environmental health are intrinsincally linked. Implementing proper farming practices when handling livestock is key to food safety. It reduces the risks of diseases in animals and the risks of human illness through contaminated food.

In the #MiddleEast , our purpose is clear: improve #animalhealth & #animalwelfare globally, guided by scientific evidence. Monitoring emerging diseases, we take preemptive action. Collaboration is key - we build networks, knowledge bases & resource-sharing for sustainable results.

Animals and humans both benefit from diverse ecosystems and biodiversity. Our #OneHealth collaboration with UN Environment Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization & World Health Organization (WHO) underscores the importance of collective action. Let's unite to ensure a sustainable future for all. 🌍🌿
