TOWARDS SPECIFIC COMMITMENTS AND ACTION INTHE RESPONSE TO ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE

  05 April 2024

Recommendations for consideration by UN Member States in the outcome document of the High-level Meeting on AMR in September 2024

The Secretary-General has proposed several recommendations for member states to address Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in 2024. These include establishing an ad hoc group to define financing approaches and measures for AMR, expanding existing financing instruments to include AMR, convening an Independent Panel on Evidence for Action against AMR by 2025, updating the 2015 Global Action Plan on AMR, establishing a national core multisectoral coordinating body, strengthening human resources, and implementing strategies to prevent infections and reduce the need for antimicrobials across sectors. The Global Goals for AMR include reducing global deaths caused by bacterial AMR by 10%, promoting antibiotic stewardship and responsible use in humans, reducing antimicrobial use in agri-food systems, and eliminating the use of medically important antimicrobials for human medicine. The GLG recommends developing national, outcome-oriented, sector-specific targets with clear goals and timelines and following up on their implementation.
