If we are to secure a place for children’s rights in future public health emergencies, a more deliberate and detailed discussion will be needed.

Check out this great animation on antimicrobial resistance! #WAAW2023 . Antimicrobial resistance may be an evolutionary inevitability, but we can do more to address the structural inequities that drive drug resistance #JT4AMR @marinajoubert.

It is #WorldChildrensDay and #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek - a good time to reflect on the disproportionate impact of #AMR on children's rights to health, survival and development - 1 in 5 deaths from AMR is a child under 5 yrs #JT4AMR @ASCLeiden @BritishAcademy_.
During this #WorldAMRAwarenessWeek (#WAAW) we call for a #justtransition for #AMR: What that means and why – #JT4AMR #Superbugs @AMRCongress @AMR_WACCBIP @AMRAlliance @NCCR_AntiResist @CentreImpactAMR @WHO @AnneOsterrieder @drtessjohnson @AlenaKamenshchi.
