Each year, #bacterialinfections cause an estimated 7.7 million deaths, with nearly 5 million linked to drug-resistant bacteria. The Lancet has published a series of papers, with experts brought together by OHT’s Dr. Ramanan Laxminarayan, on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The series elucidates the problem and proposes solutions to the growing threat to #globalhealth.
