Campaigns in Global Health
In September this year the UN will hold a high-level meeting with the focus on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Campaigns in Global Health have worked with a scientific panel with representatives from across the world to draft a white paper ahead of this to highlight the need to keep TB as a priority in these discussions. The white paper has been published online and can be found here: https://www.cghproject.org/globalamrtbpanel. The draft document for the political statement around the High-level Meeting is being developed, and the time for comment from people in positions of influence is now.
We are calling on our members to help raise awareness of this white paper among those working in ministries of health, advocacy, and other influential positions relating to healthcare policy in the WHO European Region. Please forward the above link to anyone who may be interested, and email Conor Tweed (c.tweed@ucl.ac.uk) and Janika Hauser (janika@cghproject.org) if you would like to discuss this project further or have suggestions for people to contact.
