How Do We Address the Challenge of Antimicrobial Resistance?
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat, where bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to resist the effects of medications. This makes infections harder to treat and increases the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. Combating AMR requires a multi-faceted approach, including prudent use of antibiotics, investment in new drug development, and global surveillance initiatives.
