LIVE: @DrTedros remarks at 3rd Global High-Level Ministerial Conference on #AntimicrobialResistance twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@DrTedros "#AntimicrobialResistance is one of the most urgent & complex challenges of our time, & yet perhaps because it is not as dramatic as a pandemic, a war or a humanitarian emergency, it doesn’t attract the same attention from governments, donors or the media"-@DrTedros #AMROman2022

@DrTedros "The scale of the problem – and its consequences – cannot be ignored. #AntimicrobialResistance is estimated to lead to 5 million deaths every year. It threatens health, food security, and economic development"-@DrTedros #AMROman2022

@DrTedros "As #AntimicrobialResistance impacts multiple sectors, so must the response be multi-sectoral. It's so important that the participants in the #AMROman2022 conference are drawn from across the health, agriculture & environment sectors, & include public & private sectors"-@DrTedros

@DrTedros "Despite the magnitude of this global threat, we still face significant challenges in establishing sustainable funding for the essential and effective interventions outlined in the Strategic Framework"-@DrTedros #AMROman2022

@DrTedros "It is my firm hope that this #AMROman2022 meeting will pave the way towards bold - and concrete - political commitments at the 2024 #UNGA High Level Meeting on #AntimicrobialResistance"-@DrTedros

@DrTedros "I reiterate WHO’s commitment to supporting national One Health responses to #AntimicrobialResistance, which need to be underpinned by policy, technical frameworks, and sufficient institutional capacity and resources"-@DrTedros #AMROman2022
