Antimicrobial resistance is a major worldwide health problem that develops when antibiotics used to treat illnesses become ineffective due to the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria (superbugs). This is a significant issue that demands immediate intervention. Students Against Superbugs Africa wants to educate young people about the dangers of antibiotic resistance and the need of prevention. This is done through a variety of programs, including virtual and physical stewardship activities, research and innovation, community engagement, drug research and development, participation in World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, the AMR gamification program, the AMR writers and content creators' program, and the "know something about antimicrobial resistance" project.
