Every year, antibiotics and other antimicrobials save millions of lives. But a phenomenon known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effectiveness of these life-saving medicines. AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobials.

AMR is invisible but its victims are not.

The World Health Organization’s ‘AMR is invisible, I am not’ campaign puts advocates—like Vanessa, Ella and Brandon from the WHO Task Force of AMR survivors—front and centre, to share their stories, raise awareness and urge action to address AMR.
