Antimicrobial Resistance: Tackling Misuse for a Healthier Future.

What is Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)?

AMR is a global health crisis where microbes become resistant to medicines, making infections harder to treat.

Why AMR Matters Globally

AMR threatens to undo progress in treating diseases like TB and malaria, affecting global health.

Overuse in Agriculture and Health

Antimicrobials are overused in both healthcare and agriculture, fueling resistance.

The High Costs of AMR

AMR could cost up to $1 trillion by 2050 and increase healthcare expenses globally.

UN’s Commitment to Fighting AMR

The UN aims to reduce AMR deaths by 10% by 2030 through global collaboration

AMR’s Environmental Dimension

Antimicrobials are contaminating water and soil, requiring urgent environmental action.

India’s Commitment to AMR

India is taking bold steps with its One Health Mission to lead the fight against AMR.
