levels across the globe.

MRSA Activists called for a greater
government, healthcare industry and community response to the MRSA epidemic - pandemic as MRSA sweeps across the globe.
WORLD MRSA DAY and MRSA AWARNESS MONTH
will provide a much needed opportunity to heighten awareness of how MRSA is transmitted and also acknowledge that there is
no cure or vaccine for this preventable, mostly un-reportable disease in which the true magnitude of the epidemic is still
unknown and vastly under reported.
