Ahead of the United Nations General Assembly high-level meeting on AMR taking place 26 September 2024, this panel discussion will explore the pressing issue of AMR, which contributes to nearly 5 million deaths annually. Despite its severe impact, antimicrobial resistance has remained under-prioritised on global and national health agendas. Now global leaders are starting to understand this global health crisis, and with a new government in position in the UK, what can we do to ensure a consistent and coherent approach to addressing it? Our panel of global experts will discuss crucial topics, including:
• The urgency of addressing AMR within the UK's political landscape and ensuring global collaboration.
• The impact of inequality on AMR, including neonatal and maternal health.
• The role of AI and big data in combating AMR.
• Public awareness and education strategies.
Hosted by former BBC correspondent Naomi Grimley and the Tony Blair Institute's Executive Director Ryan Wain our panel will include:
Andrew Gwynne MP, Minister for Public Health, UK Government
Professor Louise Kenny, Executive Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Faculty of Health & Life Sciences, University of Liverpool
Professor Adeeba Kamarulzaman, CEO, Monash University Malaysia
Kat Lay, Global Science Correspondent, The Guardian
The event will include a canapé menu and drinks, offering an opportunity for informal networking and discussion. This will be followed by an address from Andrew Gwynne MP and a Q&A discussion with our expert panel.
