The current misleading antibiotics prescription in many European countries is one of the biggest threats to western societies. Up to 25,000 people die every year in Europe as a direct consequence of the misuse of antibiotics, a figure that rises up to 30,000 in the United States (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control).
The HAPPY PATIENT project is a 3 year Project co-funded by the 3rd Health Programme of the European Union under the Grant Agreement number: 900024. HAPPY PATIENT seeks to reduce the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by decreasing the inappropriate use of antimicrobials for the management of common community-acquired infections.
