G7 and G20 commitments on Antimicrobial Resistance

The G7 and G20, groups of major countries, have agreed to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is when microbes like bacteria no longer respond to medicines. They committed to improving how medicines are developed, used, and managed to prevent resistance from spreading. This includes promoting responsible antibiotic use, boosting research for new treatments, and strengthening health systems worldwide. Their goal is to preserve the effectiveness of medicines, protect public health, and prevent resistant infections from becoming a major global threat.
