UN called to Finalise the international pandemic treaty with utmost importance, especially as the world faces the growing health challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
The pandemic treaty is envisioned to pull together global efforts against new pathogens that pose a danger to public health.
In 2019, nearly 1.27 million deaths annually were directly linked and 4.9 million deaths were associated with AMR.
By 2050 the potential impact is estimated at 10 million annual deaths.
