ALARM 2021- Increase Awareness, Decrease Resistance
The threat of antimicrobial resistance is looming large on the horizon of global public health. Yet, many remain unware of it and its implication, compounding the problem further. Hence, the need of the hour is global visibility of AMR as a health priority, and means to encourage involvement of individuals, communities, scientific fraternity and organisations in a concerted effort to resist to the resistance. ALARM 2021 is an annual colloquium that aims to create awareness and build networks for the metaphorical face-off. Come, join us! Together let us maximize awareness and minimize resistance.
Despite being a leading global public health threat, many policymakers, professionals, and the general public often remain largely unaware of AMR. In an effort to improve global visibility of this health priority, individuals, communities, and organizations are invited to join a colour campaign to build awareness of AMR and the medicines we must collectively preserve. Drawing from the Antimicrobials: Handle with Care slogan and also acknowledging the collective global action across sectors required to address AMR, the colour light blue2 has been selected for the campaign.

ALARM 2021 is an annual colloquium that aims to create awareness and build networks for the metaphorical face-off. Come, join us! Together let us maximize awareness and minimize resistance.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) knows no national borders, imminently it would pan out into nooks and corners of the globe affecting individuals, families and communities. similarly, the onus of the fight against resistance would never be centralised, each one of us would be waging our own battles eventually to win the war against AMR. Each one of us is an ‘AMR warrior’ in the truest sense. Let us spread awareness in our family, in our community and prepare for that face-off. Send us selfies of you in action along with ‘ Be an AMR warrior challenge’ selfies boards. The battle cry is ‘ go blue’ he or chosen by WHO, so preferably wear blue and express your solidarity to the cause.
The challenge will run from November 18, 2021 – November 30, 2021 and will involve two rounds.
Competition and submission of photos showing participation in both the rounds will automatically ensure entry into the lucky draw for prizes worth Rs 30,000.
NOTE – Completion of both the rounds are necessary to enter the lucky draw.
The first step towards creating awareness among the society begins at one’s own house by imparting knowledge about the socially alarming situations to their family members.
The family awareness challenge provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to the misuse of drugs and to increase the knowledge of the antimicrobial resistance which is developing as a result of the same.
The Community Awareness challenge is designed to develop and refine your awareness of Antimicrobial resistance, as well as educate the society regarding the same. The overriding objective of the Competition is to help diverse aspiring solicitors to spread the message of the AMR week in places such as hospitals, primary health centers, educational institutions etc.
The Community Awareness Challenge allows you to properly introduce Antimicrobial resistance and it’s risks to your society.
