Dhaka, Apr 18 – Bangladesh will face greater health crisis than that of Covid-19 due to antibiotics resistance by 2050, warned Prof Dr Sharfuddin Ahmed, Vice-Chancellor of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) on Monday.
The number of death caused by excessive use of antibiotics may be more than double the Covid-19 fatalities by 2050, he told reporters after a meeting with a Japanese delegation here.
He said steps must be taken to prevent pharmacies from selling antibiotics without prescriptions from registered doctors.
