Design contest for global Antibiotic Resistance Symbol

The Joint Action on Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-Associated Infections (EU-JAMRAI) launches a design contest to find a symbol of the threat against antibiotic resistance.

The contest is open to individuals no matter their background or age.
