00:00A silent killer is on the rise, one that could claim 40 million lives by 2050.
00:06This isn't a far-off disaster.
00:08Antibiotic-resistant infections, bacteria evolving to survive drugs that once killed
00:12them, are becoming unstoppable.
00:15These superbugs make everyday illnesses lethal.
00:18Currently, over 1 million people die from these infections each year.
00:22By mid-century, that number could nearly double.
00:248 million lives could be lost annually, especially in places like South Asia, unless we take
00:30action now.
00:31Research shows a third of these deaths could be prevented with better access to antibiotics
00:35and new treatments.
00:37Vaccines, improved healthcare, and new antibiotics could be our best shot at stopping this global
00:42catastrophe.
00:43But will we act in time?
00:45It's up to us now to prevent this from becoming a deadly reality.
