All children have the fundamental right to education, but millions of them are never enrolled in a school or are dropped out for varied reasons, especially in families where the parents are illiterate themselves, and are facing an acute shortage of resources daily. The probability of those children working at reputable organizations and pursuing their dreams is minimal, and they often never get a chance to grow and prosper.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
VISION
Being proactive
Supporting optimal animal and human health
Exploring ways to reduce overall use of antimicrobials
Using the drugs that prevent and treat disease by killing microscopic organisms in a responsible way
GOAL
to prevent the generation and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Doing so will preserve the effectiveness of these drugs in animals and humans for years to come.
being to preserve human and animal health and the effectiveness of antimicrobial medications.
to implement a multidisciplinary approach in assembling a stewardship team to include an infectious disease physician, a clinical pharmacist with infectious diseases training, infection preventionist, and a close collaboration with the staff in the clinical microbiology laboratory

5. THE SITUATION
Greater Delhi is home to an estimated 17.3 million people with 52 percent of the
population residing in urban slums. Although India's economy is growing and millions
are prospering, the benefits are not reaching the slum dwellers and the gap
between rich and poor is growing increasingly wider.
Like Mumbai, the slums of Delhi are overcrowded, unsafe environments for children
and lack the most basic amenities such as clean drinking water and adequate
sanitation.
6. 47% of the urban poor population in Delhi is under 15 years of age
the infant mortality rate in Delhi slums is 54 out of every 1,000 live births
35.4% of children are stunted, 15.5 percent wasted and 33.1 percent of children
under the age of three are underweight
31% of Delhi’s slum dwellers have no sanitation facilities
75% suffer from diarrhea and 63% from anemia
India has the greatest proportion of TB cases in the world with approx 1,000
people dying of the disease every day
due to poverty, discrimination and no access to education child labor is a major
issue
children are extremely vulnerable to disease, chronic infection malnutrition and
abuse and families live in constant fear of eviction
THE FACTS
7. Located in the district of Trilokpuri, Kalyanpuri slum is 32 km’s from Indira Gandhi
International Airport and 11.5 km from India Gate in the heart of New Delhi.
110 families including 75 children reside in tent like shelters (jhuggis), exposed to
the harsh climate of Delhi. They have nothing apart from each other, a bond which
gives them the strength to overcome the most difficult of challenges on a daily basis.
The children of Kalyanpuri Slum have no access to medical care, adequate
shelter to protect them from the burning sun, torrential monsoon rain or bitterly cold
winter nights. They are severely malnourished, have little or no clothing and have
never attended school.
