On 21st September 2016, for only the 4th time in history, a health topic will take centre stage at a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) high-level meeting where heads of state are present. A day-long session has been convened to discuss the global threat from the lack of access to antimicrobials and from increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The main focus will be on antibiotic resistance. The involvement of the UN underlines the significance of this threat to public health, food security, global economic growth, and progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
