Uppsala Health Summit on Antibiotic Resistance to follow decision by WHO
Shortly after the World Health Organization (WHO) global action plan on antibiotic resistance has been adopted in May 2015, researchers, politicians and representatives from public health organizations and the pharmaceutical industry will gather in Uppsala, Sweden, to discuss the most urgent next steps. The growing problem of antibiotic resistance, which compromises our ability to treat common infections, represents one of the greatest threats to public health and security worldwide.
In May, the World Health Assembly (WHA) will decide on a “Global action plan on antimicrobial resistance”. The plan was requested by the same assembly last year and since then the WHO and the member states have worked on a draft plan.
