Due to insufficient data and standardised surveillance, it’s very difficult to understand the true burden of drug-resistant infections.
Tackling this global health threat needs urgent, collective, evidence-based action.

Drug-resistant infections are a global problem.
They’re a threat to our health, livelihoods, healthcare systems and national economies.
However, the weight of this burden is not felt equally.
Not even close. ⤵️🌍 [1/3]
ALT Drug-resistant infections threaten us all—but not equally. A world map with regions coloured in various shades of red indicates the number of deaths associated with bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 2019. The darkest shades of red show that South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, east Asia and Oceania have the highest number of deaths associated with AMR. High-income countries, as well as Latin America, the Caribbean, Central Europe, eastern Europe, central Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, are notably lighter in colour – showing the lower burden of deaths associated with AMR. A footnote shows the source of information as 'The Lancet, Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019 report'.

Check out this great animation on antimicrobial resistance! #WAAW2023
Antimicrobial resistance may be an evolutionary inevitability, but we can do more to address the structural inequities that drive drug resistance #JT4AMR @marinajoubert

It is #WorldChildrensDay and #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek - a good time to reflect on the disproportionate impact of #AMR on children's rights to health, survival and development - 1 in 5 deaths from AMR is a child under 5 yrs #JT4AMR @ASCLeiden @BritishAcademy_
During this #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek (#WAAW) we call for a #justtransition for #AMR: What that means and why – bit.ly/3R4dziH #JT4AMR #Superbugs @AMRCongress @AMR_WACCBIP @AMRAlliance @NCCR_AntiResist @CentreImpactAMR @WHO @AnneOsterrieder @drtessjohnson @AlenaKamenshchi
