Burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in low-income and middle-income countries avertible by existing interventions: an evidence review and modelling analysis

A modelling analysis suggests that improving infection prevention and control programs in LMIC healthcare settings could prevent at least 337 000 AMR-associated deaths annually. Ensuring universal access to high-quality water, sanitation, and hygiene services could prevent 247 800 AMR-associated deaths and paediatric vaccines 181 500. Despite ongoing research and innovation, the findings indicate that reducing the global AMR burden by 10% by 2030 is achievable with existing interventions.
