Explanation:

 The WHO’s advice to patients with respect to antibiotics is to “always complete the full prescription, even if you feel better, because stopping treatment early promotes the growth of drug-resistant bacteria”.
• “The WHO statement is oversimplified and partially incorrect. Stopping antibiotics early will not promote resistance in the case of common bacterial infections though stopping them halfway when the patient feels better may not guarantee cure,” says Dr. Abdul Ghafur, co-ordinator of the Chennai declaration on antibiotic resistance.
About the Chennai Declaration:
• “A roadmap to tackle the challenge of antimicrobial resistance”, was the first ever joint meeting of medical societies in India addressing antibiotic resistance, held in Chennai in August 2012. The high antimicrobial resistance rate in the country and the inspiration received from the on-going international efforts prompted Indian doctors to organise the Chennai meeting.
• It witnessed participation of all major medical societies, as well as representatives from of governmental bodies such as the office of Drugs Controller General of India, Medical Council of India, National Accreditation Board of Hospitals, Indian Council of Medical Research.
