Policy
AMI’s Policy Team works with our members to ensure microbiology informs the choices of decision-makers across the globe.
Who are the decision-makers?
Decision-makers are anyone with the power to act on something, from policymakers – those shaping laws, rules and regulations such as government officials – to hospital managers deciding which disinfectant to purchase or a farmer choosing whether to use an artificial or bio-fertiliser.
These individuals make choices that have ramifications across borders, sectors and all aspects of the One Health spectrum every day. Our role is to make sure microbiology is part of that conversation.
All areas within microbiology are relevant to our activities, but our work largely focuses on four main priority areas:
