“A little less conversation, a little more action please” – we need to tackle antimicrobial resistance

Despite the gravity of the situation, there has been little progress in tackling this global concern. Nevertheless, all is not lost – yet. It is possible to tackle AMR. 

It will take action, commitment, require significant investment, and it depends on a sustained and multifaceted approach that includes reducing the unnecessary use of antimicrobial drugs in human and animal health, and agriculture. 

This can be achieved through the implementation of effective infection prevention and control measures, such as hand hygiene, better access to clean water, development of diagnostics to aid antimicrobial stewardship, improved investment and uptake of vaccines, and careful controlled use of the effective antibiotics that we are currently relying on.
