GARDP urges nations to strengthen response to drug resistance The Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP), on behalf of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative, issued a statement this week that called on World Health Organization (WHO) member states to strengthen their responses to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The statement, presented at the 74th annual World Health Assembly, said the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for investment and international cooperation to prepare for and address the ongoing impacts of AMR. Like COVID-19, drug-resistant bacteria can infect anyone, of any age, in any country, GARDP said in the statement. Unlike COVID-19, we can prepare now. The drug-resistant microbes are known, and meaningful change can be achieved with sufficient political will and resources.
