“Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global crisis affecting populations worldwide. In conflict areas, recurrent and chronic infections coupled with scarce resources, the targeting of healthcare infrastructure and the lack of effective governance mechanisms drive the emergence and subsequent global spread of AMR.
Despite the United Nations call for action on AMR, and the substantial momentum and efforts being invested to build a framework for the Global Governance of AMR, little to no attention has been paid to the issues posed by AMR in conflicts. What measures should be taken to address AMR in war zones? How can global efforts to implement governance mechanisms to tackle AMR integrate the importance and role of conflict zones?”
