Professor Gillian Leng, deputy chief executive and director of health and social care at NICE, provides her view of the institute’s newly published impact report on antimicrobial resistance.
Around 700,000 deaths occur every year worldwide due to infections that we cannot treat due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This number is set to increase to 10 million by 2050. As World Antibiotic Awareness week recently highlighted, there is much more that we can all do to tackle AMR and significantly decrease the number of deaths.
