[Event Report] AMR Alliance Japan: Preparatory Meeting for the Advocacy Activities (July 26, 2019)
date : 8/6/2019
Tags: AMR
On July 26, 2019, the Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) hosted a preparatory meeting to plan advocacy activities for AMR Alliance Japan.
Every year, approximately 700,000 people are estimated to die from antimicrobial resistance (AMR) related causes, and action is underway around the world to prevent that from happening.
Sensing growing concern about AMR domestically and abroad, HGPI has taken the initiative to host multiple expert meetings on this subject since 2016. Over the course of those expert meetings, it was suggested that the establishment of an independent platform for multi-stakeholder discussion was needed to encourage more impactful collaborations on AMR policies. To that end, in November 2018, HGPI joined together with eight Japanese medical societies*1 involved with infectious disease medicine to create AMR Alliance Japan, a multi-stakeholder, collaborative body that will work to improve public health by promoting AMR countermeasures.
The Alliance continues discussions on how Japan can advance the fight against AMR domestically and lead on AMR policies globally. This meeting was held to discuss advocacy plans to be implemented after the announcement of recent policy recommendations by AMR Alliance Japan, as well as to clarify the way forward for the Alliance.
*1 The Japanese Society of Chemotherapy, the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, the Japanese Society for Clinical Microbiology, the Japanese Society for Infection Prevention and Control, the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, the Japanese Society of Pharmaceutical Healthcare and Sciences, the Japanese Society of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, the Japanese Society for Medical Mycology
Participants: AMR Alliance Japan academic society members and corporate stakeholders
