As we face antimicrobial resistance today, we can learn from that history. The challenge is different, but the lesson is the same.”

World AMR Awareness Week call to action: Patient and public involvement and engagement to improve impact on antimicrobial resistance – the time to act is now
A step change is required in citizen awareness of the global AMR health crisis and, crucially, public involvement in tackling it. The global context presents new challenges but real-world examples show what is possible and an historic moment approaches, that we can leverage for positive action.
