Global Future Council on Antimicrobial Resistance

About the Global Future Council on Antimicrobial Resistance

A broader ‘One Health’ and multi-stakeholder approach is urgently needed to address drug-resistant infections. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is already a leading cause of death globally, surpassing HIV/AIDS and malaria. 

How can novel financing approaches accelerate effective action to address AMR challenges?
