Staying healthy helps us enjoy the weekend — and it also means fewer antibiotics are needed.
Vaccines are part of prevention: they reduce infections and complications before treatment is needed.

New research shows how sleep quality and balanced nutrition help regulate inflammation and strengthen key immune responses.

At the Workshop in Brussels, #MedLit explained how informed medicine use supports better vaccine uptake and responsible antibiotic use.
