At the September 2024 High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), global leaders approved this political declaration on AMR, committing to a clear set of targets and actions, including reducing the estimated 4.95 million human deaths associated with bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) annually by 10% by 2030.
If effectively implemented, these commitments will help AMR, slow its progression, prioritize access to appropriate antimicrobial treatments when not available, drive the development of new treatments and enhance infection prevention measures in healthcare settings.
