AMR HAS ITS MOMENT IN NEW YORK: Global leaders and experts will gather today in New York for a high-level meeting on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), at the United Nations General Assembly. We’ll get statements from the heads of U.N. agencies, AMR survivors, health ministers, Big Pharma executives, as well as country reps.

Why it matters: The meeting is significant for two reasons — first, we have a political declaration to curb AMR, but also we have world leaders talking about one of the biggest threats to human health today and in the years ahead.
