Knowledge Hub

Welcome to the AMR Action & Insights Knowledge Hub, where we will offer a comprehensive exploration of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from multiple perspectives. Our articles will delve into the far-reaching impacts of AMR on human health, animal health, and the environment, highlighting the interconnectedness of these sectors – an approach known as One Health.

Whether you’re a policymaker, healthcare professional, or simply someone interested in learning more, our goal is to equip you with actionable insights and a deeper understanding of the challenges posed by AMR.

Through diverse viewpoints and expert analysis, we aim to foster informed decision-making and inspire collective action to minimise the impact of this major public health threat.
