Drug-resistant fungal diseases on the rise, WHO says
The WHO warns of rising resistance in fungal diseases, posing global health risks. Candida infections are increasingly tough to treat, affecting vulnerable people with weakened immune systems. Only four new antifungal drugs were approved over the last decade. The WHO urges for safer treatments and improved diagnostics, especially in low and middle-income countries, to address this growing concern.
