Tackling Anti-microbial Resistance
and Ensuring Effective
and Innovative Strategies for Future Generations
The European Parliament’s
celebration of World Health Day 2011 –
High-level breakfast
roundtable
Background
The issue of anti-microbial resistance (AMR) has a huge impact on health systems and individuals in Europe, and across the world; as bacterial diseases are becoming increasingly virulent and resistant to currently available treatments. Resistance to antibiotics presents a major challenge as resistant bacteria dramatically reduce the possibility of treating infectious diseases effectively and increase the risk of complications and death for patients with infections.

Regional Information Centre (UNRIC) have the pleasure to invite you to a
