Antibiotic-Resistant UTIs in the Maldives: A Growing Concern for Women

A first-person health explainer on antibiotic-resistant urinary tract infections in the Maldives, reporting that over 92% of UTI-causing bacteria resist at least one common antibiotic and nearly 80% resist two or more. The author, a former medical officer in the Maldives, recounts treating a 19-year-old with recurrent UTIs whose infection responded only to last-resort antibiotics, and lists prevention and reporting advice for women.
