the international health students campaign on AMR for WAAW
The World Healthcare Students Alliance WHSA ( composed of the international federations of medical, pharmacy, dentistry and veterinary students, IFMSA, IPSF, IADS, and IVSA) joined hands and did an international awareness campaign for healthcare students all around the world, by sharing educational materials with their members in more than 150 countries, including posters on AMR in 4 languages ( English, French, Arabic and Spanish) and encouraging healthcare students to share them on the local level to raise the awareness of youth and the general population about AMR, and the importance of interprofessional collaboration in it.
We also designed and shared a Quiz to educate and test the knowledge and attitude of healthcare students around the world about AMR and antibiotic use with more than 800 answers from 69 countries.
We also shared educational materials and toolkits with our members worldwide to encourage and assist them in doing activities locally on AMR, and to collaborate with other healthcare students nationally. We also designed a competition of the best and most impactful national AMR campaign by healthcare students. We also did a webinar attended by healthcare students worldwide
