ICMR Study Finds Drug-Resistant Infections Increasing Mortality and Costs

A new study by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) highlights that drug-resistant infections are leading to higher mortality rates and increased healthcare costs in India.

The research emphasizes the urgent need for better antibiotic stewardship and surveillance to combat the rise of multi-drug resistant pathogens in clinical settings.

Findings suggest that patients with resistant infections require longer hospital stays and more expensive treatments, placing a significant burden on the public health infrastructure.
