WAAW 2022

The eighth World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW), organised by the Quadripartite bodies – the World Health Organization (WHO), World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), UN Environment Programme (UNEP), and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) – was celebrated from 18 to 24 November 2022. The aim was to raise awareness of antimicrobial resistance among the public, professionals and policymakers worldwide, focusing on the issue of growing antimicrobial resistance. True to the theme of “Preventing antimicrobial resistance together”, Switzerland was also actively involved in WAAW 2022. Presented here are some of the highlights of Switzerland’s WAAW 2022.
