'Bacteria knows no borders. The UK and Fleming Fund must stay in the fight'

News


Abstract

The planned dismantling of the world's largest fund to fight antimicrobial resistance could contribute to millions of deaths worldwide. The reported cessation of the Fleming Fund represents a catastrophic abandonment of Britain's leadership on one of the gravest threats to global health security. This decision, if confirmed, would dismantle what the government itself describes as the world's largest single investment" in antimicrobial resistance surveillance – at precisely the moment when such leadership is most needed."
