In a significant development at the recent G20 summit, a chapter on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) authored by a professor from the University of Hyderabad (UoH) has been incorporated into the healthcare resolution.
The chapter, a part of the book titled ‘Accelerating Global Health: Pathways to Health Equity for G20’, was penned by Dr. Ranga Reddy Burri, an Honorary Professor at UoH and the President of the Infection Control Academy of India.
The chapter provides an overview of the emerging crisis of AMR that poses challenges to healthcare systems and patient outcomes across the world. The analysis highlights the need for a comprehensive, multi-pronged approach and a whole-of-society approach to combat AMR.
