Antimicrobials are medicines used to prevent and treat infectious diseases in people, animals, and plants. They must be used responsibly and according to medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
AMR is ranked among the top 10 global health threats. It is also a threat to food security, the environment, economies, and SDGs. It is not a ‘silent pandemic’ because, despite being preventable, it contributes to almost 5 million untimely deaths a year. Even one AMR death is a death too many. AMR fractures families, communities, and societies.
Media has the power to make invisible AMR visible. It can help people understand and prevent AMR, shape public opinion, and mobilise policymakers to effectively respond to AMR.
Don’t miss the Global AMR Media Awards 2026. The awards ceremony is part of the 6th Annual Global Media Forum on #AntimicrobialResistance.
