Combating Antimicrobial Resistance- Way ahead – Talk by Dr. Senthur Nambi, MD., FNB.,

Dr. Senthur Nambi, Senior Consultant, Infectious Diseases & Co-Chair Hospital Infection
Control Committee, Apollo Group of Hospitals, Chennai will be talking about antibiotics and infection control.

Today there is much talk about the misuse of antibiotics and resistant strain of organisms emerging all over the world. Unlike the USA and Europe where a prescription is required to buy antibiotics, the public in India can get antibiotics easily “over the counter”. Is this contributing to the increased number of resistant strain of organisms emerging in India today?

Dr Nambi is a highly qualified physician. He belongs to a number of prestigious societies whose members address many public health issues related to infectious diseases. He has published a large number of papers and has wide experience in treating patients with a variety of infectious diseases. We expect to have an interesting evening interacting with Dr. Nambi after his talk.
