World leaders have committed to tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR), setting a target of reducing deaths by 10 per cent by 2030.
This 2030 goal was set at the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79), Political Declaration of the High-level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance, where countries agreed to tackle the growing threat of AMR.
The 15-page political declaration obtained by PREMIUM TIMES was approved Friday and signed by 193 member states to scale up action to address the looming threat that AMR poses to global health, food security and achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
