Join us online for our virtual conference on Wednesday 6 November to mark International Pathology Day as we explore the rise of global Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
The prediction is that unless we take urgent action, ten million people each year could die from Antimirobrial Resistance (AMR) by 2050. Antimicrobial resistance is one of most pressing global health challenges we face today.
It affects everyone, everywhere, regardless of income status or nationality. From misuse and overuse of antibiotics lack of clean water inadequate healthcare infrastructure, the causes of AMR are complicated and critical.
We are honoured to welcome Professor Dame Sally Davies, the UK’s Special Envoy on Antimicrobial Resistance, as a special guest at our upcoming event. Professor Davies will open the conference in a discussion alongside Dr Bernie Croal, College President and Dr Noha El Sakka OBE, Vice President for Communications. This discussion will emphasise the critical importance of international collaboration and adopting a One Health approach in combating AMR.
