Public Practices
Influencing how governments, decision-making bodies and multiple social and economic actors respond to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is key to improving global health. Our work integrates current economic, public and political policy and research, together with social-sciences and on-the-ground research to best advise how they should advance. Through our multidisciplinary research, we guide global government discussion on current antimicrobial use and, critically, the future life-threatening risks of AMR.
Our research is informing policy at the highest level, including the United Nations Environment Assembly and many national governments across the world, setting an example for others to follow.
