Antimicrobials: Drug Resistance

Question for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

UIN 902586, tabled on 24 April 2024

To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, what recent discussions he has had with his international counterparts on antimicrobial resistance ahead of the UN General Assembly high-level meeting on that matter.

Answered on

30 April 2024

The Government wants an ambitious outcome at the High-Level Meeting in September – one that works for everyone, including low and middle-income countries, where the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is felt most heavily. I made this point at the UK-Africa Health Summit on 18 March, and the Foreign Secretary raised AMR at the G20 Foreign Ministers meeting on 21 February.
