Drug Resistant Infections are Preventable Says Amrita Medical Superintendent

Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences' Medical Superintendent, Dr. Sanjeev K. Singh, shared his experience of treating patients with multi-drug resistant infections up to three times a week and patients with pan-drug resistant infections (those immune to nearly all antibiotics) up to twice a month. “You know this is preventable, but you see these patients crashing in front of you and dying. If it is happening to a young person who could have been so productive, it pains you”, he said.
