Uppsala Health Summit to focus on behavioral changes, antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance is an urgent global threat to human and animal health. This year s Uppsala Health Summit, which will take place online on 15-18 March, will discuss how behaviour change across various sectors of society can slow down this worrying trend.
Excessive and incorrect use of medicines for humans and animals, and inadequate hygiene in healthcare, are some of the major factors behind the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance.
Widespread antimicrobial resistance has consequences for the entire health and medical care sector. Cancer therapies, organ transplants and childbirth, for example, are more risky when infections can no longer be slowed by antibiotics. People in low-income countries with weak healthcare systems are particularly vulnerable when common bacterial infections and parasites become increasingly difficult to deal with.
