The health and medicine regulators all over the world have focused mainly on regulating manufacturing sector including quality. but they have ignored irrational marketing and profit making areas for obvious reasons, resulting in over active promotion of new drugs and their unjustified use which includes antibiotics at top of the list. many ailments of ordinary nature can be cured by simple drugs and preventive methods for example gargles for sore throat, but antibiotics are freely prescribed even self medicated. It is the time to focus on regulation of pharma marketing sector to secure future of our coming generations.

This is an alarming figure as such cases always rise rapidly. Such a trend at present is limited to developed world where every business has reached to an established industrial production level. That aspect is missing in this report. Such as in the west to improve the production, vegetables and meat are produced under a special diet. Caged chicken are given feed. The eggs and meat develop traces of antibiotics. The human consumer unaware of this, start getting immunity and later unwantedly gets resistant to antibiotics.
This slow poisoning is at such a wide scale that it would become a serious health hazard.
