Wockhardt Antibiotic Academy, an initiative for Patient -
Centric Scientific Dialogue to Tackle Multidrug Resistance.
Mumbai, India, August 10, 2026 – Since the discovery of penicillin nearly a century ago and
despite the introduction of more than 300 antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has
continued to emerge and accelerate, posing one of the greatest threats to global public healthcare.
Around 10 lakh patients annually die in India due to multi-drug-resistant infections more than
four times the number of Indian lives lost annually during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"There is an urgent need not only to have a new antibiotic like Zaynich, but also to have a
science-based platform that fosters constructive dialogue on antimicrobial resistance and its
appropriate management. It is essential to use the right antibiotic for the right patient at the
right time. We hope this Academy will create a deeper understanding of the current realities of
drug resistance and promote evidence-based solutions that enable clinicians to save patients'
lives." - Dr. Habil Khorakiwala, Founder Chairman, Wockhardt
The Wockhardt Antibiotic Academy is an open scientific learning platform accessible to the
registered medical fraternity across India. It aims to facilitate continuous medical education
through the exchange of knowledge, scientific discussions, and the sharing of real-world clinical
experience among healthcare professionals.
"Resistance is not solved by guidelines alone. It is solved at the patient's bedside, one clinical
decision at a time. Those decisions improve when physicians learn from one another and build
evidence together. Antimicrobial stewardship continues to evolve. Practices that were
considered appropriate a decade ago have been refined by new evidence on diagnosis, dosing,
treatment duration and de-escalation. Any initiative that brings clinicians together to exchange
knowledge and remain closely connected to science is a step in the right direction. Resistant
organisms must be defeated—and patients must win." - Dr. Subramaniam Swaminathan,
President Clinical Infectious Diseases Society, India
The Academy reflects Wockhardt’s belief that advancing the fight against antimicrobial
resistance requires a shared platform where knowledge, experience, and evidence can come
together. Our contribution is to convene, enable, and invest in that dialogue. The science,
however, belongs to the community that advances it, and to the clinicians who translate it into
better outcomes for patients around the world. This Academy is the first step in building a
nationwide scientific movement. Wockhardt hopes to collaborate with clinicians across the
country to strengthen the fight against antimicrobial resistance. Ultimately, the true measure of
success will be the number of patients whose lives are saved through better-informed clinical
decisions.

antimicrobial stewardship. Clinicians, scientific societies, hospitals and policymakers are invited
to participate in the Academy, contribute their expertise and help shape this collaborative
initiative - because patients must win, and life must win.
