Antimicrobial Resistance : Tackling a crisis for the health and wealth of nations

Abstract

Responding to mounting international concern about the rise of drug-resistant infections, the UK Prime Minister, The Rt Hon David Cameron MP, commissioned Jim O’Neill in July 2014 to chair this review on antimicrobial resistance. By the summer of 2016, the Review will recommend a package of actions that we think should be agreed internationally to tackle this growing threat. The Review operates independently of the UK Government and the Wellcome Trust who are co-funding and hosting us at their headquarters in London.
