“Reporting Anti-Microbial Resistance: Impact on HIV/AIDS, TB, Malaria and the Health of Nigerians,” was the title of a seminar for 18 journalists from print, radio and television outlets across Nigeria.

The workshop focused on the growing problem of resistance of drugs to various diseases. It examined the role that substandard and counterfeit drugs play in the problem.
