AMR is endangering global health

We are running out of options to cure serious infections in humans, animals and plants. Each year, 1.2 million people lose their lives because of antimicrobial resistance. A number equivalent to the combined annual deaths from HIV/AIDS and malaria. If nothing is done, 39 million people will die because of AMR by 2050.

“This woman’s body works like a scale or measurement of the global threat that affects us all. Alongside the extensive amount of antimicrobials that are within her, the bacteria are getting stronger, becoming resistant, and undermining her health, our health.”
