Guérir les maladies

Curing diseases.
This is the best known role of medicine. For instance, the antibiotics family is designed to fight infection by destroying the bacteria that cause it. For example, antibiotics can be used to treat bacterial diarrhoea (this type of diarrhoea can be caused by drinking unsafe water or eating contaminated food).

Activity for children
