French to English: La résistance aux antibiotiques, un problème de santé majeur General field: Medical
Source text - French La résistance aux antibiotiques, un problème de santé majeur
La prescription excessive d’antimicrobiens chez les hommes et les animaux explique l’expansion de ce phénomène.
Par Paul Benkimoun Publié le 23 novembre 2018 à 10h54 - Mis à jour le 23 novembre 2018 à 10h54
Depuis plusieurs années, l’ampleur croissante du phénomène de résistance aux antimicrobiens inquiète au point que les instances politiques nationales et internationales ont fini par s’emparer du sujet. En septembre 2016, le secrétaire général des Nations unies, Ban Ki-moon, mettait en garde contre « une menace fondamentale, à long terme, pour la santé humaine, la production durable de nourriture et le développement ». Au même moment, Margaret Chan, directrice générale de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé, évoquait « un tsunami au ralenti. »
Le rapport AMR Review sur la résistance aux antimicrobiens, paru la même année, estimait que, si rien n’était fait, les infections tueraient jusqu’à 10 millions de personnes par an en 2050, soit plus que le cancer. Il avançait également que le coût économique cumulé, d’ici à 2050, atteindrait 90 000 milliards d’euros. Un rapport de l’OCDE publié le 7 novembre estimait que les bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques pourraient tuer 2,4 millions de personnes en Europe, en Amérique du Nord et en Australie d’ici à 2050. Une étude publiée quelques jours plus tôt dans la revue scientifique The Lancet Infectious Diseases chiffre à 33 000 le nombre de morts imputables à ces bactéries en 2015 dans l’Union européenne.
La résistance aux antimicrobiens est au départ un phénomène naturel : les organismes vivants que sont les bactéries, les virus ou les champignons développent des mécanismes de survie face aux médicaments destinés à les éliminer. Les souches bactériennes résistantes aux antibiotiques acquièrent ainsi un avantage sur celles qui ne le sont pas. Il en va de même pour les virus face aux antiviraux et aux champignons face aux antifongiques.

The excessive prescription of antimicrobials in humans and animals explains the expansion of this phenomenon.

For several years, the growing magnitude of the phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance has been alarming, to the point that national and international political bodies decided to take up the issue. In September 2016, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, warned against "a long-term, fundamental threat to human health, sustainable food production, and development." At the same time, Margaret Chan, Director General of the World Health Organization, spoke of a "slow-motion tsunami."
The same year's AMR Review report on antimicrobial resistance estimated that if nothing were done, infections would kill up to 10 million people a year in 2050, or more than cancer. It also put forth that the cumulative economic cost by 2050 would reach 90 trillion euros. An OECD report published on 7 November estimated that antibiotic-resistant bacteria could kill 2.4 million people in Europe, North America and Australia by 2050. A study published a few days earlier in the scientific journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, puts the number of deaths attributable to these bacteria in the European Union at 33,000 in 2015.
Antimicrobial resistance is a natural phenomenon: living organisms such as bacteria, viruses or fungi develop survival mechanisms against drugs intended to eliminate them. Antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria thus gain an advantage over those that are not. The same goes for viruses facing antivirals and fungi facing antifungals.

Si cuida de sí mismo, estará más descansado y se sentirá más capaz de cuidar y de conocer a su bebé.

Aunque es posible que usted quiera relacionarse con su bebé a menudo, deje que su pequeño duerma cuando lo necesite.

The birth of a baby is a wonderful process, but sometimes complex.
Both mom and baby experience many physical and emotional changes.
A baby needs to make many physical adjustments in order to live outside the mother's body.
Leaving the uterus means that a baby can no longer depend on the mother's circulation and placenta for important physiological functions.
Aware of the needs that may arise, we have a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with high-tech equipment, medications necessary for the care of newborns and staff trained to provide timely care.
In addition, we are the only private hospital with a team of neonatologists working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ready to provide personalized and humane care, always supporting attending physicians in the treatment of their patients.

The surroundings, the strange sounds and not having your baby in your arms can be overwhelming.
However, our staff is always on the lookout to make this process more humane and provide parents with peace of mind that their baby is in the best hands.

If you take care of yourself, you will be better rested and feel more able to care for and get to know your baby.
We know it's a difficult situation, but it's important to try and be well-rested and watch your little one grow and get stronger day after day.
Talk to your baby in a calm and reassuring voice, minimize noise.
Although you may want to connect with your baby often, let your little one sleep when he needs to.
