Antimicrobial resistance is not only one of the top ten global health threats, but it is also exacerbated by climate change, making it a major challenge to global health security and a likely impediment to achieving the SDGs. Given this heightened global relevance, it was the subject of the High-Level Meeting (HLM) at the 2024 UN General Assembly in September.
Experts from WHPA member organizations will share their insights on the meeting’s outcomes and how interprofessional collaboration is essential to beat AMR at a webinar on 18 November 2024, organized at the kick-off of this year’s World AMR Awareness Week #WAAW24.
