World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week: Reel Competition to Spread Awareness

 

World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week: Reel Competition to Spread Awareness



Introduction

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat that requires urgent action. To raise awareness about this critical issue, Believers Church Medical College Hospital is organizing an engaging Reel Competition as part of World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week, observed from November 18 to 24.

This initiative aims to encourage healthcare workers, medical students, Pharm D interns, allied students, and nursing students to creatively convey the importance of AMR prevention through short videos (reels). With attractive cash prizes up for grabs, participants have a unique opportunity to make an impact while showcasing their creativity.

Theme of the Competition

The theme for the competition is "Awareness on Antimicrobial Resistance." Participants are encouraged to create short, impactful videos that highlight the causes, consequences, and preventive measures related to AMR.

Why is AMR Awareness Important?

Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to resist the effects of medications, making infections harder to treat. The misuse and overuse of antibiotics in humans, animals, and agriculture have accelerated this process, leading to:

  • Increased mortality rates from untreatable infections
  • Longer hospital stays and higher medical costs
  • Reduced effectiveness of life-saving treatments

By raising awareness, healthcare professionals and students can play a crucial role in promoting responsible antibiotic use and infection prevention strategies.

Competition Rules & Guidelines

To ensure fair participation and an impactful message delivery, the following rules must be adhered to:

  1. Team Composition: Each team can have a maximum of 5 participants.
  2. Video Length: The reel must not exceed 1 minute in duration.
  3. Eligible Participants:
    • Healthcare workers
    • Medical students
    • Pharm D interns and students
    • Allied health students
    • Nursing students
  4. One Team per Individual: Each participant can only be part of one team.
  5. Submission Deadline: All entries must be submitted by November 16 at 5:00 PM.
  6. Submission Process: Reels should be sent via WhatsApp to 94000 29472 along with the team name.

How to Create an Impactful Reel?

To maximize engagement and effectiveness, consider the following tips while making your reel:

1. Choose a Strong Message

Decide on a specific aspect of AMR that your team wants to highlight, such as:

  • The dangers of antibiotic misuse
  • The impact of AMR on global health
  • Steps individuals can take to prevent resistance

2. Keep It Simple and Engaging

  • Use clear and concise language to ensure your message is easily understood.
  • Incorporate eye-catching visuals, animations, or text overlays to make the content engaging.
  • Use background music or voiceovers to enhance the impact.

3. Make It Relatable

  • Consider using real-life scenarios, patient stories, or dramatizations to make the content emotionally compelling.
  • Address common misconceptions about antibiotic use.

4. End with a Call to Action

Encourage viewers to take action, such as:

  • Consulting a doctor before taking antibiotics
  • Completing prescribed antibiotic courses
  • Practicing good hygiene to prevent infections

Why Participate?

Participating in this competition is not just about winning prizes—it’s about making a difference in the fight against AMR. Benefits include:

  • Spreading awareness and educating the public on a crucial healthcare issue
  • Enhancing creativity by producing engaging educational content
  • Networking with peers and professionals in the healthcare community
  • Winning amazing cash prizes!

Conclusion

The fight against antimicrobial resistance requires collective efforts, and this Reel Competition is an exciting way for students and healthcare professionals to contribute. By using digital media to spread awareness, participants can play a key role in preventing antibiotic misuse and protecting future generations from drug-resistant infections.

Don’t miss this chance to showcase your creativity and make a meaningful impact! Submit your reel before November 16 and be a part of the movement against AMR.
