Globally, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is expected to cause over 39 million deaths by 2050, with the elderly population particularly at risk. Deaths among individuals over 70 years due to AMR have increased by 80% in the last three decades and are projected to rise by 146% by 2050. This increase is partly due to age-related vulnerability to infections, increased hospitalisations, and reduced vaccine effectiveness. The highest future AMR death tolls are expected in South Asia, East Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) and Infection prevention and control (IPC) are two key complementary strategies that combat development and spread of AMR.1.1 Critically evaluate the IPC strategies outlined in the South African National Infection Prevention and Control Strategic Framework published in March 2020; and assess whether they could potentially reduce the projected number of deaths for the elderly population. Your evaluation should include the strengths and limitations of the strategies and make recommendations for improvement. 1.2 Suggest and discuss AMS activities or interventions that could help reduce mortality rates among the elderly population.

Chronic diseases and mental health disorders are estimated to exceed 65% of the global burden of disease. Patients with chronic illnesses often take several medications, with many of these patients exhibiting medication non-adherence. Medication non-adherence has significant consequences for the patient and the health system. The first step towards improving adherence to medication is to recognise and analyse barriers to adherence as well as acknowledge that improvements in adherence do not depend on patients alone but are also affected by healthcare professionals and the healthcare system. Discuss the role of pharmaceutical care in improving medication adherence
