MRSA day

On Tuesday it was announced that October 2nd will be the Fourth Annual World MRSA Day(and October is  World MRSA Awareness Month)  and the theme this year is 'The MRSA Epidemic – A Call to Action'.

This event is organized annually by the MRSA Survivors Network and there's a lot of useful information at their website.

MRSA Survivors Network was founded in early 2003. MSN was the first consumer organization in the U.S. to raise the alarm concerning the MRSA epidemic and other multi-drug resistant healthcare-acquired infections. MSN has been the key catalyst for change on an international and national front with its groundbreaking crusade and mission to stop MRSA deaths and infections. MSN partners with healthcare professionals, healthcare companies and consumer organizations.
