Speaker sessions (2)
Thursday, 9 November 2023
10:15 - 11:00
The global problem of AMR and the current status; the need for other solutions
- 10.15 – 10.30: The global state of AMR (Dr. Pradeep Dua, WHO representative)
- 10.30 – 10.45: The state of AMR in Africa (Saviour Kwame Yevutsey, Deputy Director of Pharmaceutical Services, Ministry of Health, Ghana)
- 10.45 – 11.00: The state of AMR in the EU/EEA (Dr. Dominique Monnet, ECDC representative)
Despite (inter)national policies during the last decades, the AMR problem is still increasing. Therefore there is a rationale to examine also other approaches to infectious diseases, for example the use of “Traditional solutions”, TCIH.
