AMR survey form for the public

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to public health. If you do not know anything about AMR please take the time to read and educate yourself by clicking on these links:

Antimicrobial resistance; a silent killer in PNG (part 1)
Antimicrobial resistance; what is antimicrobial resistance? (part 2)
Antimicrobial resistance; the AMR PNG crisis and contributing factors to AMR (part 3)
Antimicrobial resistance; consequences and ways to combat AMR (part 4)

This survey is intended for the general public in PNG and around the world. Its aim is to collect information about antibiotic use practices in our communities and identify some factors that are contributing to AMR.

We encourage the public to fill in the form with the best of your knowledge and support the fight against AMR in PNG and the world.

The data collected will be summarised at the end of the survey and published on the blog.

Antibiotic should be taken with a Drs prescription. Doctors and other health workers should also do not prescribe antibiotics according to patients request.
They should know which ones to prescribe for specific infections.
