Now we can die of pneumonia again

Peter Frölich, leader of Norway's foreign affairs committee, writes a regular column for E24. He notes that while many Norwegians contract pneumonia each year, few die due to the availability of effective antibiotics. However, antibiotic resistance has become a major issue, with over a million people dying annually from infections that no longer respond to treatment. Frölich warns that without effective antibiotics, modern medicine, including cancer treatment and surgeries, becomes much riskier.
