Abstract: 

Antibiotic resistance is a significant public health problem that jeopardises our ability to effectively treat infectious diseases. Preventing antibiotic resistance requires a comprehensive and concerted effort. Strategies such as the development of new antibiotics, antibiotic stewardship programs, and the use of alternative treatments can help to prevent and control antibiotic resistance. Health care providers and healthcare promoters are essential in preventing antibiotic resistance by informing the public about the proper use of antibiotics, promoting good hygiene practices, and encouraging the development of substitute treatments for infectious diseases. Education and communication campaigns are effective in changing behavior and reducing the use of antibiotics. Health promoters and healthcare professionals have different roles and parameters in healthcare delivery. While health promoters focus on promoting community health and wellness, healthcare professionals focus on providing quality healthcare services to patients. The role of healthcare workers and the healthcare system in preventing antibiotic resistance is examined in this review paper, along with current methods and fresh chances for education and intervention. The paper examines the effects of healthcare promotion on infections that are resistant to antibiotics and the potential for upcoming tactics to lower the risk of resistance.
