Antimicrobial Resistance

We aspire to support people to lead longer, healthier lives, and sustain the environments around them.

Defending Our Health: Unravelling Antimicrobial Resistance

Sustainable antibiotic development and international collaboration are essential in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. Ongoing innovation and policy change are also key to ensure pharmaceutical investment in new antimicrobials can continue.

 

We developed and funded a short film, which explores the need for collective action against AMR as part of the news-style programme, ‘Defending Our Health: Unravelling Antimicrobial Resistance’, in partnership with ITN Business.1,2 Watch our film here:

The scale of the AMR challenge

Without global action, annual deaths linked to AMR are predicted to rise significantly.

 

It’s crucial to raise awareness of the threat, so this short video shows the predicted scale of impact by 2050.

The next generation explore the issue of superbugs

AMR poses a huge threat to the health of the next generation, so we asked young people from across the continent for their thoughts on the crisis.

 

This special film was made for World AMR Awareness Week 2024, and we are very grateful to all the participants.
