Antimicrobial Resistance Threatens Development, SDGs: Tripartite Report

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) could have significant effects on a range of SDGs, according to guidance published by the World Health Organization (WHO). AMR is when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to medicines effectively, making it harder to treat infection and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. The publication makes recommendations for UN country teams to address this interlinked threat through the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework.
