WHO Warns of Two Major Global Health Crises: Neurological Deaths and Antibiotic Resistance
WHO Warns of Two Major Global Health Crises: Neurological Deaths and Antibiotic Resistance
———————————————-
The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued back-to-back warnings highlighting two severe, yet distinct, global health crises that demand urgent action, according to reports released in mid-October 2025.
On October 14, the WHO announced that 11 million lives are lost each year due to neurological disorders globally, emphasizing the critical need for immediate and comprehensive improvements in neurological care and access to treatment worldwide.
This alert follows the WHO’s earlier warning on October 13 regarding the alarming and widespread resistance to common antibiotics. This growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the ability to treat everyday infections effectively, potentially undermining decades of medical advancement and making routine procedures dangerously risky.
Both reports underscore the necessity of increased international funding, accelerated research, and strengthened healthcare systems to combat these massive and intensifying public health challenges.
