UN Declares Action on Antimicrobial Resistance

News summary

During the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, global leaders approved a political declaration to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is responsible for 1.3 million direct deaths annually. The declaration sets targets, including reducing AMR-related deaths by 10% by 2030 and raising $100 million in funding to support national action plans. Health experts emphasize the need to balance increased access to antibiotics in low-income countries with controlled use globally to prevent further resistance. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics in both medicine and agriculture have accelerated resistance, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The UN agreement calls for coordinated global efforts to curb the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs and implement effective national strategies by 2030.
