Pulling Together to Beat Superbugs: Knowledge and Implementation Gaps in Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance

- AMR, which costs millions of lives, harms economies and negatively impacts human capital, is also a development problem
- A holistic approach to AMR that leverages solutions across multiple sectors can curb the rise of AMR
