Consultation Response: Draft Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance
AMI submitted to the Quadripartite Consultation on the draft for the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance by bringing together 15 microbiologists from around the world—including experts from the UK, India, Nepal, Thailand, the US, Sweden, Lebanon, and Germany—for a virtual roundtable discussion. The group represented diverse areas of expertise, spanning clinical and environmental microbiology, bioinformatics, and the intersection of inequalities and AMR. We urge global policymakers to strengthen the revised Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (GAP-AMR), calling for a more inclusive, clear and equitable approach to tackling one of the world’s most urgent health challenges.
