I was pleased to be a panellist at the One Health session at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2025 on 20th November. The discussion reinforced a key message: Human health, animal health, and environmental systems are tightly connected and addressing them separately simply doesn’t work

I had the privilege of speaking at the MicroDAO’s WAAW 2025 livestream, “The Silent Pandemic: Why the World Isn’t Paying Attention (Yet).” As part of World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week, this session brought together a global panel of scientists and innovators

“It’s not the medicines that change, it’s the microbes that evolve." That’s the real story behind antimicrobial resistance. I have often come across people who think antibiotics or antifungals “stop working”… but the truth is, they stay exactly the same. It’s the microorganisms

How Is AMR Draining Our Healthcare System? Antimicrobial Resistance isn’t just a medical crisis, it’s an economic one accelerating quietly in the background. When infections become harder to treat, the costs rise sharply: 🔹 Longer hospital stays and prolonged treatments 🔹

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) doesn’t just make infections harder to treat, it quietly drains our healthcare system and our wallets. When microbes stop responding to medicines, everything becomes more expensive: longer hospital stays, stronger drugs, extra tests, and days or

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) didn’t suddenly appear out of nowhere, but we’ve definitely pushed it into fast-forward. Microbes have always had this natural survival trick: they learn and adapt. That part isn’t new at all. What is new? How quickly they’re learning now, because

Scrolling through symptoms isn’t the same as a real diagnosis. Antimicrobials are powerful, special-use medicines. They’re not meant for trial-and-error, home guesses, or “just in case” situations. When we take them without proper diagnosis, we don’t just risk side effects, we

Antimicrobials aren’t just antibiotics, they’re the entire toolbox we depend on to fight infections.” Antimicrobials include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics. So when resistance rises, it doesn’t just affect one medicine… it weakens the whole defence

Feeling better halfway through your antibiotics? That’s great, but please don’t stop there.” When we cut our antibiotic course short, the strongest bacteria the ones that survive are exactly the ones that learn to become resistant. Finishing the full course as prescribed by your

Think vaccines don’t matter for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)? Here’s the truth, they’re one of our strongest weapons. Vaccines don’t just protect you from infections… they reduce the number of people getting sick in the first place. And fewer infections mean fewer antibiotics

Happy New Month, Micronauts! 1/3 World AMR Awareness Week has just ended; A global reminder that antimicrobial resistance isn’t abstract or distant, but a structural challenge already shaping the future of health. This year showed us something powerful:

Not every infection needs antibiotics and that’s exactly why doctors prescribe them only when they’re truly needed. Most common fevers, colds, sore throats, and mild infections get better on their own with rest, fluids, and your body’s own immunity. Antibiotics are reserved for

The Myth: "My Body Built Tolerance" Many people think that if they take antibiotics too often, their body somehow gets "used to" the drug, similar to how someone might build up a tolerance to caffeine or alcohol. They believe their physical body has changed so the drug no longer

Can we reverse AMR completely? Not entirely. But can we slow it down, control it, and even undo parts of the damage? Absolutely, yes. AMR isn’t a switch we can turn off, but it is something we can influence every single day, through responsible antimicrobial use, better

“We rely on antibiotics every day, but without the right laws, they won’t be there when we need them.” Antimicrobial Resistance(AMR) grows fastest in places where antimicrobials are easy to misuse, poorly regulated, or used without real need. That’s why strong policies matter.

“Preventing infections isn’t complicated, it’s in the small daily habits we often overlook.” Everyday habits might seem small, but they’re powerful shields against both infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). When fewer infections happen, fewer antimicrobials are

“Just because an antibiotic helped you once doesn’t mean it’ll help you again.” Symptoms can look the same, but the cause may be completely different, a virus, a new bacteria, or even the same bacteria that has now become resistant to that medicine. That old leftover
