ReAct VISION AND MISSION

At the inception, the following Vision and Mission statement was articulated:

VISION

Current and future generations will have access to effective prevention and treatment of bacterial infections as part of their right to health.

MISSION

In striving for its vision, ReAct is committed to change four fundamental dynamics underlying the ability to prevent and treat infection. ReAct believes:

• That antibiotics should be used appropriately in humans, animal and plants – their use reduced when of no benefit, and their correct and specific use increased when needed;
• That hospital and community infectious diseases should be prevented through improved infection control and better hygiene and nutrition;
• That awareness is needed of the ecological balance in all aspects of human life as part of a comprehensive and integral concept of health;
• That the root causes of antibiotic resistance, as well as effective responses, are social, political and ecological as much as scientific and technical.
