Containing the 'Silent Pandemic'
Antibiotics are becoming ineffective in treating infectious diseases. The world is faced with the deadly silent pandemic of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), which is being seen as a cause of huge cumulative damage. Known to heavily impact low- and middle-income countries, AMR is a threat to global health, food safety, nutrition security, livelihood and attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. The global and national response to this crisis needs to be swifter, stronger and scaled up.
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is bringing together over 100 experts from across the two continents of Africa and Asia at a virtual global workshop to discuss the future agenda on containing this scourge through the One Health approach.
