Description

The societal consequences of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are severe.

They include declining health outcomes from longer illnesses, prolonged stays in hospital, loss of protection for patients undergoing medical procedures, increased health care expenditure, and increased mortality.

They also include declining global food security as AMR damages farm animal health and crop yields.

Despite AMR being a transboundary crisis, concerted global initiatives that effectively combat AMR have been few and far between. Steering Against Superbugs analyses ways to reduce barriers and create opportunities for coordination.

The expert contributions in this volume offer specific and original insights about what global governance of AMR means, and ways to help solve AMR issues.

They show that effective governance relies crucially on pursuing local level implementation of key policies, and equitable recognition of solutions across multiple sectors within countries, and across the Global North and South.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, societies across the world have been reminded of the devastating consequences of not being able to effectively counter global health threats.

AMR is arguably one of the most severe long-term threats to human, animal, and environmental health.

There is momentum for global political action around novel and emerging disease threats and Steering Against Superbugs contributes with original and insightful research to inform ongoing and future debates.
