Antimicrobial Resistance in India

Our Purpose

Indiscriminate and excessive use of antibiotics and poor infection control practices has furled the evolution of 'superbugs’ or antibiotic resistant pathogens, causing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Several hundreds of thousands of people die every year because of AMR. This number could rise to 10 million every year by 2050. We need to act now to mitigate its devastating impact on humankind.

The Government of India has identified AMR as a key priority in its National Health Policy, 2017. With the G20’s call to action on AMR and India assuming leadership, a public private partnership has been created to build a committed network of thought leaders, academic experts in AMR, practitioners and other relevant stakeholders. Our aim is to systematically identify areas of research & strategic priorities and develop roadmaps, using a One Health approach, to combat AMR.
