That’s what experts said during a Devex event alongside the United Nations General Assembly this week in New York City. Global leaders will gather on Thursday for a high-level meeting on antimicrobial resistance, known as AMR, where it’s expected they will sign a political declaration around what the world can do to stop its spread.

AMR happens when antimicrobials, such as antibiotics, are no longer effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This growing problem jeopardizes advances in modern medicine, such as treating infectious diseases and performing complex surgeries.
