Every newborn deserves the best possible start in life!

This week, Dr. Simon Drysdale, a specialist in paediatric infectious diseases and immunology, led an important teaching session on the responsible use of antibiotics in neonatal care. Antibiotic resistance is a global crisis, but it starts with local actions. In a neonatal intensive care unit, every decision matters. Overprescribing antibiotics in newborns not only increases risks but also makes infections harder to treat.

A new guideline for safer antibiotic use will help turn this vital teaching into practice—ensuring the right drug at the right dose and avoiding unnecessary treatments. Let’s all be part of the solution. Prescribe wisely. Use antibiotics responsibly.
