AMR Alliance Japan (Secretariat: Health and Global Policy Institute) hosted a WHO Regional Committee for the Western Pacific Related Event: “AMR: A Global Health Crisis”
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when the microorganisms that cause infectious disease grow resistant over time to the antimicrobials used to treat them. If not enough is done to combat this problem, it is estimated that AMR will cause more deaths than cancer by 2050. Urgent action is needed.
In celebration of the 72nd session of the WHO Regional Committee for the Western Pacific to be held in Himeji in October, this symposium shared the current state of AMR-related issues within Japan and overseas, and discussed future countermeasures.
You can watch the day’s proceedings below.
