Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance consists of world leaders and experts from across sectors working together to accelerate political action on antimicrobial resistance (AMR).[1][2][3]

The Group performs an independent global advisory and advocacy role and works to maintain urgency, public support, political momentum and visibility of the AMR challenge on the global health and development agenda.

Mission statement[]

"The Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance collaborates globally with governments, agencies, civil society and the private sector through a One Health approach to advise on and advocate for prioritized political actions for the mitigation of drug resistant infections through responsible and sustainable access to and use of antimicrobials."[4]
