A new report issued by the World Health Organization denounces the current overuse of antibiotics and is saying that antibiotics now pose a “major global threat” to public health.

Calling for urgent action, WHO says that antibiotic resistance is occurring “in every region of the world.” Describing the current medical landscape as a “post-antibiotic era,” WHO is revealing that simple infections, once treatable, are now capable of taking lives en masse.

The Guardian also reported that Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known in English as Doctors Without Borders, had established treatment centers in Guinea, one of which came under attack as locals accused the foreign aid group of bringing the disease into the country. Also under fire is the government of Guinea itself, which has proved incapable of handling the crisis.

This latest outbreak, which has yet to be contained and is being considered by Doctors Without Borders as an “unprecedented epidemic,” illustrates several troubling truths about global health care, emergency response to outbreaks, and the perception many have of a West subjecting the developing world to a “medical tyranny.”

Failure to Prepare
