AMR Action Fund

The AMR Action Fund is an initiative aimed at tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which occurs when bacteria and other pathogens become resistant to the medicines designed to kill them. This resistance complicates the treatment of infections, making common procedures riskier. The fund, backed by various organizations including governments and pharmaceutical companies, invests in the development of new antibiotics and treatments. Its goal is to spur innovation in the drug development process, ensuring that effective medicines are available to combat resistant infections and protect public health.
