Share Your Story

Sharing personal stories can be a powerful way to raise awareness and foster understanding of important health issues like antimicrobial resistance (AMR). When people speak openly about their experiences with a health condition, it can provide comfort and solidarity to others facing similar challenges, while also encouraging them to seek support and care.

In the context of AMR, personal narratives play a key role in educating the public about the dangers of antibiotic overuse and the urgent need to prevent the spread of resistant infections. These stories shed light on the real-life impact of antimicrobial-resistant infections on individuals, families, and communities, helping to build broader public support for actions to address this pressing global health threat.

Moreover, storytelling can be a powerful advocacy tool. By sharing their experiences, individuals can bring attention to the human cost of AMR, influence policy discussions, and help drive investment in research, innovation and public health initiatives aimed at reducing resistance.

Whether you’re a patient, carer, pet owner or health professional, we’d love to help you share your story. Just provide a brief description below and we’ll be in touch soon. Alternatively email us at mystory@theAMRnarrative.org
