ISPOR Student Chapter (NIPER) has successfully organized a training session on "How to measure blood pressure using a Sphygmomanometer & Stethoscope" under the occasion of National Pharmacy Week 2022.

Antimicrobials are necessary for life-threatening situations, but improper use of these agents is the primary cause of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is a major concern. The delay in the initial identification of Multidrug resistance (MDR) positive pathogens is one of the promoting factors. Gram-negative bacteria are more resistant to MDR pathogens than gram-positive bacteria. AMR is directly related to an increase in mortality, length of stay, and therapy cost. Unsanitary conditions and improper hospital sewage treatment provide a breeding ground for superbugs. Intensive Care Unit (ICU) settings are the most vulnerable area for resistance because of excessive use of antibiotics. In India, in order to reduce the rate of AMR, there is need of upgrading the surveillance system to international standard. Education for promoting prescription adherence and discouraging self-prescription is equally important in the fight against AMR.

According to ICMR guidelines, Antimicrobial stewardship is defined as a set of coordinated interventions designed to measure and improve the appropriate use of antibiotics by promoting the selection of the optimal choice, dose, duration, and route of the antibiotic which in turn leads to improved patient outcomes and decreased adverse effects.

Here are some components of Antimicrobial stewardship program. Please check out more about antimicrobial stewardship program provided by ICMR.

https://main.icmr.nic.in/sites/default/files/guidelines/AMSP_0.pdf 

Please check out recently approved Antimicrobials

According to guidelines by ICMR, Human antimicrobial misuse or overuse is one of the primary causes of AMR, and with a dry antibiotic pipeline, it is critical that we learn to use antibiotics wisely and responsibly. As India is the world's largest consumer of antibiotics, reducing unnecessary antibiotic use is essential. So, follow the 8 steps for the rational use of Antibiotics

WORLD DIABETES  DAY

Stigma and discrimination continue to be a barrier to social inclusion and access to the right care; importantly, we can all play our part in increasing awareness about which preventive mental health interventions work and World Mental Health Day is an opportunity to do that collectively.

The theme for World Heart Day 2022 is 'USE HEART FOR EVERY HEART'.
