In 2021 and 2022, G7 Finance and Health Ministers committed to expedite implementation of existing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) strategies, to take additional steps to address antibiotic market failure, create economic conditions to preserve the effectiveness of essential existing antibiotics and ensure their access, strengthen AMR research and development (R&D), and bring novel antibacterials to market that address public health needs.
