Nepal
suffers from high burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) due to inappropriate
use of antibiotics. The main objective of this study was to explore knowledge,
attitude and practices of antibiotics uses among patients, healthcare workers,
laboratories, drug sellers and farmers in eight districts of Nepal. A
cross-sectional survey was conducted between April and July 2017. A total of
516 individuals participated in a face-to-face interview that included
clinicians, private drug dispensers, patients, laboratories, public health
centers/hospitals and, livestock and poultry farmers. Out of 516 respondents,
62.8% (324/516) were patients, 16.9% (87/516) were clinicians, 6.4% (33/516)
were private drug dispensers. A significant proportion of patients (42.9%;
139/324) thought that fever could be treated with antibiotics. Majority (79%;
256/324) of the patients purchased antibiotics over the counter. The knowledge
of antibiotics used among patients increased proportionately with the level of
education: literate only [AOR = 1.4 (95% Cl = 0.6–4.4)], versus secondary
education (8–10 grade) [AOR = 1.8 (95% Cl = 1.0–3.4)]. Adult patients were more
aware of antibiotic resistance. Use of antibiotics over the counter was found
high in this study. Knowledge, attitude and practice related to antibiotic
among respondents showed significant gaps and need an urgent effort to mitigate
such practice.

I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
