#AntimicrobialResistance poses critical threats as it seriously impacts human lives and adds to their burden. When antimicrobials become ineffective, people get… limited treatment options, extended hospital stays, constant medication, prolonged loss of income, medical debt, poverty, family loss and grief.
Globally, #AMR is directly responsible for 1.3 million deaths and contributes to 5 million deaths every year. But this is just the start. AMR also threatens our economic future, with an estimated global annual cost of up to US$3.4 trillion by 2030. 28 million people may also be pushed into poverty by 2050.
