Cork GP: More deaths from superbugs than cancer by 2050

By 2050, death from superbugs will outstrip the number of people dying from a cancer, a Cork GP has warned.

"We know that if we continue on our current trajectory with the way we use antibiotics, by 2050 deaths from superbugs, from antibiotic resistant infections, are predicted to outstrip cancer deaths," Dr Nuala O'Connor said.
