​The World Health Assembly has officially adopted the new 10-year Global Action Plan on AMR (GAP-AMR 2026–2036). A crucial decade-long framework uniting human health, agriculture, and environment to secure national financing and curb the global #AMR crisis. nation.africa/kenya/health...

New 10 year global action plan adopted to fight drug resistant infections

1.14 million deaths in 2021. 39 million projected by 2050. The world finally has a 10 year plan to stop antimicrobial resistance. But will countries deliver?
