Day 9: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is not just a scientific problem. It's a market failure, a behavioural challenge, and a quiet global risk that rivals more visible threats. Prescribing behaviours, agricultural practices, food production and packaging decisions, and unequal access to quality care all accelerate resistance. Solving AMR requires coordinated action, not siloed solutions: • Pharma to innovate under sustainable incentive models • Policymakers to fix broken markets and fund preparedness • Clinicians to steward antibiotics responsibly • Agriculture and food systems (including packaging) to reduce antimicrobial overuse • Global health institutions to align surveillance, access, and accountability AMR is a systems problem - and only systems-level collaboration will solve it.
