Lectures in 5 primary schools in Skopje
Short educational lectures were held in 5 primary schools in three municipalities in Skopje. Professors and doctors through clear and understandable presentation explained the importance on rational use of antibiotics as well as on the importance of hand hygiene to 500 pupils. Promotional material such as vials with herbal tea and motto “Cold? Flue? Take care and not antibiotics”, pocket size liquid soap package, pocket size sanitizing hand gel package for disinfecting and flyers were shared among the children which hopefully (indirectly) will affect their parents too.
