HCWH Europe’s Antimicrobial resistance press kit provides journalists with the essential information on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and its effects on human and environmental health. With this press kit we are supporting journalists to write about this vitally important issue. A growing threat, AMR caused 1.27 million deaths globally in 2019. It is therefore crucial to raise awareness about AMR so that we may fight against it and mitigate its consequences.
As well as the facts and figures of AMR and the devastating health consquences, this press kit includes:
