![[Event Report] Global Expert Meeting “Race Against Resistance – What Will Happen When Drug Resistance Spreads?” (April 23, 2024)](https://hgpi.org/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/HGPI_240423_AMReyecatch.jpg)
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is causing widespread disruption, with approximately 1.27 million estimated annual deaths directly linked to AMR, as a British medical journal reported in 2022. AMR has been called a “silent pandemic” and “The next threat after COVID-19.” The lack of progress in developing new antimicrobials has revealed the necessity of international cooperation and the importance of pursuing a One Health approach among G7 members and the global community. It should be noted that countries acting alone cannot fully implement infectious disease control and that each country’s interests are adjacent to those of the rest of the world.
Looking to the UN High-Level Meeting in 2024, discussions were center on determining the direction and specific measures required, involving stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and civil society. The focus was on identifying the antibiotic research and development innovation engine.
*Discussion points from this expert meeting will be published in due course.
