What Are the Challenges in Treating Infectious Diseases?
1. Antimicrobial Resistance: The overuse and misuse of antimicrobials have led to resistant strains of pathogens, complicating treatment. 2. Vaccine Hesitancy: Misinformation and distrust can lead to low vaccination rates, reducing herd immunity and increasing the risk of outbreaks. 3. Global Health Inequities: Limited access to healthcare and treatments in low-resource settings hampers disease control efforts. 4. Rapid Pathogen Evolution: Pathogens can mutate quickly, rendering existing treatments and vaccines less effective.
