The theme for this year’s World AMR Awareness Week is “One Health, one action: Prevent AMR now.”
Our world is more connected than ever. The medicines that save lives, the food we produce, the economies we depend on and the health of our environment are all connected. When drug-resistant pathogens emerge and spread, they impact our health, animal health, food security, economies and sustainable development. Their emergence and spread are also influenced by the health of our environment.
Antimicrobial resistance is no longer a future challenge; it is a present global threat.
