The Problem of Antibiotic Resistance in Uae

The UAE is the number one country in the Middle East that want to develop her self to get the first place in the economy industry, due to that many famous company come to help the UAE to develop. In addition of that the population in the UAE will increase and the medical issue will face some problem due of increases of people and the difficulty of fighting these problem. UAE should make sure that medical industry have the facility to fight these issue and they hoping for better development in the medical industry. One of the most challenging issue that UAE struggle with is antibiotics resistance. Moreover, this issue is not concern just in the UAE but also in USA and UK. Antibiotic resistance is when that bacteria start to resist the antibiotic in take, it start when patient overusing antibiotic. Due to the overuse, the bacteria develop resistance so the infection will be spread.

One of the reason of overuse antibiotics by the patient, they diagnose there infection and prescribe without the knowledge, in addition of overuse antibiotics the immune system of the person will be weak, the bacteria will get stronger which will be difficult to treat and kill it and the patient build up a resistance from antibiotics that overused. Some patient can’t differentiate between virus infection and bacteria infection, they think it’s the same symptoms of the two infection so they go to the doctor and say to prescribe antibiotic for them but there is some different between them only the doctor find out if this bacteria or virus infection by doing some blood test, in addition of leak of knowledge patient start taking wrong antibiotic without doctor prescription of the right medicine, due of that some country stop giving patient antibiotic without doctor prescriptions. There is some antibiotics kill the good bacteria rather the bad bacteria that causes infection. Expert in pharmaceutical assume that 10 million people will lose there life in 2050 due the spread of antibiotic resistance than cancer, they say that not just because cancer treatment improve but the concerns of losing patient because of infection. However, in USA 2 million people infected with bacteria infection, these bacteria will be resistant to one kind of antibiotic.

Moreover, the statistics say that 2300 people in USA die every year because of the antibiotic resistance and in the UK 5000 people die every year because of infection can’t be treated with antibiotics. Example of infection that can’t be treated by antibiotic is MRSA infection. MRSA infection is methicillin–resistant stophy lococus aureus, this type of infection cause of staph bacteria, it look like rash in the skin. Statistics says that in 2003 there was 5% people get infected by this infection and the percentage start increasing, in 2008 increased to 12. 5% and 2011 increased to 34% in the UAE. There is another type of infection also resistance to antibiotics discovered in 2009, this infection spread in patient of Syria war, the doctor found this bacteria is resistant to antibiotics so they did an immediate surgery to drain the bacteria before the bacteria spread to whole body. Scientist in UAE University are willing to find the cure and treatment to antibiotic resistance as they spent 10 billion DH but unfortunately they didn’t found any cure. However, they start doing campaign to aware people how serious this problem, they advice them to stop prescribe antibiotic for there self without doctor permission because the problem start from the reckless use of antibiotics and they should get diagnosed by the doctor to give them the right medicine, until the scientist find the cure In 2017, some scientist start to do some research and experiment on two volunteers patient, by doing experiment they found that they can treat it by process called plasmapheresis, this process look like kidney dialysis. This process involved few step; remove antibody from plasma, treat it and return it to the circulation of blood plasma. Moreover, they did this process 5 time in a week and the result is pleasing that the volunteers patient start to improve in their health.

To sum up, the reckless use of antibiotic causes the antibiotic resistance, due that UAE start consider this problem very challenging for them. So they start to do campaign to aware people to be careful and not take any antibiotic without prescription from the doctor. Moreover the scientist start to search for a cure to stop antibiotic resistance bacteria from spreading and to less the resistance of the bacteria to let the antibiotic effective again. In addition of the cure the percentage of people dying from antibiotic resistance will decrease. In the other hand some scientists discovered a process to decrease the infection, the process look like kidney dialysis.
