AMR, A global challenge for public health and food security

AMR poses a threat to global health, food security, and achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. AMR puts a strain on health systems by diminishing the effectiveness of treatments, leading to prolonged illnesses and increased healthcare costs. Simultaneously, AMR poses a threat to food security as it can spread through the food chain, impacting both animal and human health and causing economic losses in the agricultural sector.

Similar to COVID-19, drug-resistant infections know no borders. And no single country or individual can fight AMR alone.

Together, we should ensure the international community sets ambitious goals during high-level meetings on AMR and that countries allocate sufficient resources to meet AMR national action plans.
