World Antimicrobial Awareness Week
Antimicrobial Resistance the Current & Coming Pandemic
Alongside climate change, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is the most urgent global healthcare
challenge for the human species. Overuse of antimicrobials in healthcare and the environment has
significantly accelerated AMR.
The scary thing is, it’s insidious and silent. The latest figures suggest AMR will cause over 10 million
deaths per year by 2050. This is more than deaths from cancer and diabetes combined and triple the
current COVID-19 death toll of 3.4 million deaths worldwide since 2019.
AMR is already affecting all people of all nations. We need to do something now to stop it – but there is
no single answer. What is required is a multifaceted ‘one health’ approach that combines all solutions
instead of relying on a silver bullet. It is time to target and change policy to truly tackle AMR and
infectious diseases. Our decisions can influence all the world and can futureproof for generations to
come.
