South Africa Joins the Global AMR R&D Hub

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a severe global health challenge and is a critical issue in South Africa. In 2019 alone, AMR was associated with over 39,000 deaths in the country and is widely perceived by health professionals as a serious national problem.

We are delighted to welcome South Africa to the Board of Members at the Global AMR R&D Hub and look forward to working with them to make an impact against AMR, now and in the future

Eirik Bakka, Chair of the Board, Global AMR R&D Hub

As the first Board Member from the African continent, South Africa’s participation brings valuable insights and will enhance our collective strategies in the fight against AMR.

We are confident that their leadership and expertise will be crucial in advancing our global mission.

Welcome aboard, South Africa! Together, we are making significant strides toward a healthier future.
