The IMPACT AMR Network takes a transdisciplinary approach to improving the use of evidence to inform prioritisation of efforts to impact antimicrobial resistance.
The first seminar of the IMPACT AMR series ‘AMR interventions: Prioritisation approaches’ will focus on work done by experts from the World Health Organisation and the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on Antimicrobial Resistance, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the World Bank Group. Presentations and discussions will include:
- Economic analysis approaches to better understand the costs of AMR and the associated benefits of the AMR response across different sectors.
- One Health ‘best buys’ that, if implemented systematically, would improve population health, reduce health expenditure, and generate positive returns for the economy.
- A framework focused on low- and middle-income countries, outlining 20 intervention areas across the health, agriculture, and water sectors that can serve as starting points for discussions to develop sustainable systems addressing AMR at national and regional levels.
The below three publications will be covered in the seminar:
- Annex to the GLG report: Towards specific commitments and actions in the response to antimicrobial resistance
In response to a request from the Global Leaders Group, the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat undertook an economic analysis to better understand the costs of AMR and the associated benefits of the AMR response across different sectors. The aim of this work is to inform global, regional, and country action on AMR response and to mobilize appropriate resources - Embracing a One Health framework to fight antimicrobial resistance
This report identifies 11 One Health “best buys” that, if implemented systematically, would improve population health, reduce health expenditure and generate positive returns for the economy - Stopping the grand pandemic: A framework for action addressing antimicrobial resistance through world bank operation
This report, with a focus on low- and middle- income countries provides a framework that outlines 20 intervention areas across the health, agriculture, and water sectors that can serve as starting points for discussions to develop sustainable systems addressing AMR at national and regional levels.
