Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance

Health is a global issue and tackling many of the greatest health threats of our time requires concerted multilateral and cross-sectoral collaboration and action. This is not only true when responding to pandemic infectious disease outbreaks, but also when confronting other critical issues that are not yet as prominent in public consciousness. One such issue, and the focus of this edition of Eurohealth, is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), recently identified by World Health Organization as an ‘urgent global health challenge’ to be addressed in the next decade of action.
