Protecting this sensitive information from breaches and unauthorized access is not only a moral imperative but also a legal necessity under stringent regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).            Genetic data and health records have a value that far surpasses traditional financial information on the black market.

Written by:  Osunlana Adeleke   The battle against superbugs requires a united global effort, combining surveillance, prevention, innovation, and responsible antimicrobial use. By working together, we can preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics and ensure a safer future for all. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing health challenges of our time. It occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to resist the effects of medications that once killed them or inhibited their growth. This resistance renders standard treatments ineffective, leading to persistent infections and an increased risk of spreading resistant organisms. AMR threatens the gains of modern medicine, complicating the treatment of common infectious diseases, leading to prolonged illness, disability, and death. The Scope of the Global AMR Threat The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified AMR as a top global health threat. AMR could cause 10 million deaths annually by 205...
