Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global and local health concern. In this episode of Healthcare Today with HSA, Medical Microbiologists Dr Camille Blake and Dr Glendee Reynolds, along with Clinical Pharmacist Ramone Gayle, discuss how antibiotics work, why misuse is dangerous, and the steps we can all take to prevent resistance in the Cayman Islands.

Our guests explain the risks of self-medicating, importing antibiotics, or stopping treatment early, and highlight the role of pharmacists and healthcare professionals in promoting responsible use. They also share practical advice for parents, patients, and the wider community on best practices, how to handle leftover medication safely, and alternatives to antibiotics for mild illnesses.

Tune in to learn how “antibiotic stewardship” protects your health, keeps our community safe, and combats the rise of “superbugs” locally.
