CIMAR Director Dr. Helen Boucher (@hboucher3) is in Washington today to testify to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on National Security on “U.S. Biodefense, Preparedness, and Implications of #AntimicrobialResistance for National Security.” #AMR #DISARM
Per their website, “The Subcommittee will evaluate the readiness of the US government and healthcare system, including hospitals and emergency professionals, to respond to naturally-occurring pandemics and biological attacks that could be perpetrated by state & non-state actors.”
“The Subcommittee will also investigate the growing threat of antimicrobial-resistance, as well as the implications of this challenge for US national security.” @Hboucher3 will also discuss ideas for stimulating the #abx market so new drugs can be developed. #DISARM #DISARMAct
The hearing will be held TODAY, June 26, at 2 pm Eastern and can be viewed here then: youtube.com/user/Oversight… We also plan to share it on our website, tuftscimar.org, once the file is available. #antibiotics #amr #disarmact #disarm @RepStephenLynch @OversightDems
