Education about handwashing is a key component because handwashing prevents infections and the need for treatment.DBND provides resources for healthcare professionals and the public with a special focus on childrens education. This app complements existing DBND programs for children, parents, and teachers to foster healthy habits early in life. See www.dobugsneeddrugs.org. Antibiotic resistance is a rapidly escalating health issue that decreases the effectiveness of antibiotics in treating bacterial infections. Bacterial infections that are resistant to the effects of antibiotics are difficult to treat and can be fatal. Healthcare agencies around the world including the World Health Organization, the Public Health Agency of Canada, the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the European Congress, have urged development of educational programs about antibiotic resistance and the need to use antibiotics wisely.Please note that this app can be navigated in either English or French.
