See and hear how our coalition members are taking action to fight against AMR.
AMR thought leaders Dame Sally Davies and Lord Jim O’Neill were joined by Gary Cohen, founder of the Antimicrobial Resistance Fighter Coalition, at the launch of the book, “Superbugs: an arms race against bacteria,” at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the world’s greatest threats to human health. Mortalities from AMR are projected to reach epidemic levels within our lifetimes, causing 10 million deaths by 2050, more than are caused by cancer today.
Addressing the human health impacts of AMR will require concerted action from health agencies and officials, clinicians, administrators, policymakers, patients and families, working together to address the wide-ranging factors and catalyze behavioral changes needed to combat this insidious threat.
Recognizing this need, we have founded a non-commercial awareness and coalition-building campaign, named the Antimicrobial Resistance Fighter Coalition. Participants in this coalition express their commitment by declaring “I’m a resistance fighter” and describing how they are taking personal responsibility to combat AMR. We invite you to become part of this rapidly growing coalition of leaders and stakeholders.
We hope you will engage in this essential effort to stimulate awareness and mobilization around the urgent need to combat AMR.
We look forward to your participation.
