In 2021, the World Health Assembly agreed to a global process to draft and negotiate an international instrument focused on addressing future pandemic threats. This webinar explores the pandemic threat posed by AMR and the opportunities and challenges related to synergistically designing a pandemic instrument that addresses silent pandemics like AMR alongside novel zoonotic pandemics. Practical measures needed to mitigate AMR will be discussed, including surveillance considerations, equitable access to medical countermeasures and combatting inequities in policy planning regarding capacity and facility needs in low- and middle-income countries. This session will be of interest to those involved in designing, planning or researching pandemic instruments, as well as those involved in AMR policy and planning more generally.
