Thursday is World Health Day and Alberta Health Services is celebrating by spreading the message about proper antibiotic use.

Thanks to various antibiotics people are living longer and healthier lives.

However, if you don’t use your antibiotics properly, you stand a chance of building up an immunity to the medicine making treating certain bacteria almost impossible.

The World Health Organization is encouraging everyone to learn more about the proper use of antibiotics.
