Public health warns of unneccessary consumption

Dr Henrietta Ewart says treating the drug as a 'quick fix' is misguided and dangerous, with resistance to antibiotics becoming a major headache for global health services.
In England a campaign's been launched to build awareness of unnecessary use of the drugs, which can render them ineffective.
Dr Ewart says old attitudes towards antibiotics need to change.
