| Meeting report
Overview
For the second successive year, the GLG and ESCMID co-hosted a high-level event on AMR at which government leaders, policymakers and scientists from around the world came together to discuss the need for strong partnerships between policy makers and researchers to develop solutions to the growing antimicrobial resistance crisis. Speakers highlighted the need for evidence-based, outcome-oriented targets to drive further action in the AMR response across sectors, and noted the GLG’s recent recommendations to help address the pipeline and access crisis for antimicrobials and diagnostics. Speakers also proposed ways to capitalize on the year’s opportunities to galvanize global progress on AMR, including the upcoming UN General Assembly (UNGA) High-Level Meeting (HLM) on AMR in September 2024.
