The Stakeholder Network on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) hosted under the European Commission’s Health Policy Platform and led by the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA), is the only civil society-led pan-European stakeholder network on AMR. It comprises over 80 leading organisations and individuals committed to tackling AMR from a “One Health” approach.

WE MUST ACT NOW TO TACKLE AMR
Superbugs cost the life of nearly 90 people every day in the EU and the EEA. A serious threat to patient safety, AMR crosses national borders and endangers many healthcare interventions, including life-saving surgical procedures and cancer treatments. The development and spread of multidrug-resistance has far-reaching and potentially life-threatening consequences for humans, animals and the environment, and jeopardises the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We require immediate action and commitment from EU and national policy-makers to tackle this urgent public health crisis.
