👉 Antibiotic resistance in children is becoming a global concern. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 5 million deaths annually are associated with antimicrobial resistance, and around 20% of these are in children under five.
👉 The CDC reports that 25% of antibiotic prescriptions for children are unnecessary or inappropriate, accelerating the spread of resistance.

📌 In Vietnam, according to reports from the Ministry of Health and studies conducted at Children’s Hospitals 1 and 2, antibiotic resistance in children is at an alarming level. Certain bacterial strains such as E. coli and K. pneumoniae have shown resistance rates of up to 40–70% to beta-lactam antibiotics, third-generation cephalosporins, and carbapenems.

🎯 What will attendees gain from this webinar? The special lecture: “Update on Antibiotic Resistance in Pediatric Inpatients” will provide:
✅An overview of current resistance trends in hospitalized pediatric patients
✅Insights into the most common multidrug-resistant pathogens in children and emerging trends
✅Updated treatment recommendations and infection control strategies from international guidelines
