🌍 Global Action Against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)🌍 The clock is ticking on one of the greatest public health challenges of our time—Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). On September 26, 2024, world leaders, health experts, and policymakers will gather at the United Nations Headquarters in New York for the UN High-Level Meeting on AMR. This pivotal event will focus on strengthening the global response to AMR, integrating it into the broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework, and promoting a multi-sectoral One Health approach that connects human, animal, and environmental health. 💡 Why does this matter? - AMR could claim 10 million lives per year by 2050 if left unchecked. - The economic impact could reach $100 trillion globally. - A global effort is required to ensure the development of new antibiotics, vaccines, and diagnostic tools, while promoting responsible use. This meeting is a crucial opportunity for the world to renew its commitment to fighting AMR, ensuring sustainable funding, and strengthening national AMR action plans. Let’s continue raising awareness and drive global action towards a healthier, safer future. #UNHLM #AMR #OneHealth #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalHealth #AMRAction Join the conversation and be part of the solution! 🌱

Understanding the Main Drivers of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a growing global health challenge that threatens to undo decades of medical progress. But what’s driving this alarming trend? Several key factors are accelerating the emergence and spread of AMR: 1. Overuse and Misuse of Antibiotics: The unnecessary prescription of antibiotics for viral infections, self-medication, and overuse in livestock are major contributors. 2. Poor Infection Control and Hygiene Practices: Inadequate infection prevention in healthcare settings and poor sanitation in communities create opportunities for resistant microorganisms to spread. 3. Lack of Access to Clean Water and Sanitation: Clean water and proper sanitation are fundamental to preventing infections that would otherwise require antibiotic treatment. 4. Weak Surveillance and Regulation: Without strong systems to track antibiotic use and resistance patterns, we miss crucial opportunities to intervene and mitigate AMR risks. 5. Global Travel and Trade: The movement of people, animals, and goods across borders facilitates the spread of resistant strains of bacteria. Combating AMR requires a collective effort across sectors and borders. By addressing these factors, we can slow the spread of resistance and preserve the effectiveness of lifesaving antimicrobials. Let's work together to make AMR prevention a priority! 🌍💊 #AntimicrobialResistance #OneHealth #GlobalHealth #StopAMR AMR Action Fund AMR Now Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP) Rwanda Pharmaceutical Students Association (RPSA/AEPHAR) Roll Back Antimicrobial resistance Initiative (RBA Initiative)
