More than three million children worldwide are believed to have died in 2022 due to infections caused by antibiotics resistance, according to a new study by experts in child health.
Children in Africa and South East Asia were found to be at the greatest risk.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) develops when the microbes that cause infections evolve in such a way that antibiotic drugs no longer work.
It has emerged as one of the biggest public health threats facing the global population.
