A recent groundbreaking report by Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) Project forecasts that between 2025-2050, more than six million deaths will be directly attributed to AMR in sub-Saharan Africa. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Antimicrobial Resistance known as AMR for short, occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. Infections then become harder to treat, increasing the spread of disease, severe illness and death.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AMR is a shared global problem. However, the highest burden, which means the highest number of deaths, is in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Southeast Asia,&#8221; research lead of the Drug Resistant Infections for the Welcome Trust in London, Janet Midega, told DW. This rapidly growing threat is a major concern for the future of global health and modern healthcare. It is projected that over 39 million people could die from antibiotic-resistant infections by 2050. Factors contributing to the rise of resistance include lack of access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene, related to both humans and animals. Also a lack of infection and disease prevention measures in homes, healthcare facilities and farms plays a role, as well.<\/p>\n<p>A high-level meeting on AMR was held during the UN General Assembly at the end of September to discuss how to reduce human deaths from AMR by 10% by 2030. World leaders met in New York and agreed upon a list of global targets to control the antimicrobial resistance crisis. &#8220;Today&#8217;s political declaration shows the global commitment to collective action to control AMR,&#8221; said Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge, World Health Organization Regional Director for Europe. &#8220;With this clear target and the commitments made, we can accelerate progress and make sure less people die and suffer. This political declaration gives us the opportunity to strengthen investment in AMR control and partnerships, as well as increase solidarity and mutual accountability between countries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AMR is recognized by the World Health Organization as one of the top ten global health threats. It is directly responsible for 1.3 million deaths a year. The first Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) study, published in 2022 in the Lancet, found that global AMR-related deaths in 2019 were higher than those from HIV\/AIDS or malaria, directly causing 1.2 million deaths, and playing a role in a further 4.95 million deaths.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/africas-fight-against-antimicrobial-resistance\/a-70350443\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/africas-fight-against-antimicrobial-resistance\/a-70350443\">DW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/africas-fight-against-antimicrobial-resistance\/\">Africa&#8217;s fight against antimicrobial resistance<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16295,14415,555],"class_list":["post-134142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-africas-fight","tag-antimicrobial-resistance","tag-csr-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134142\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
