Advancing equity in antimicrobial resistance research and policy
Advancing equity in antimicrobial resistance research and policy
The recent article 'Tracing epistemic injustice in global antimicrobial resistance research' reasons that injustices in setting global research priorities – that is, who produces and uses antimicrobial resistance (AMR) knowledge, and valuing certain types of knowledge – have created ‘blind spots’ in research and policy on AMR [1]. Research and interventions relevant to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have been underprioritised, even though more than half of the 92 million people whose lives could be saved by 2050 through improved access to antibiotics and health care are in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia [2].

That’s fantastic news. Wasn’t it not too long ago that Trump confidently declared the Indian economy ‘dead’? Yet here it is, clocking 8.2% growth even with 50% US tariffs looming over its trade outlook. Quite a lively corpse, I must say.

The fight against AMR will not be won in laboratories alone, but in our shared habits of everyday life. We need infection prevention, vaccination, hand hygiene, and a global culture that values responsibility over convenience and stewardship over complacency.
