ESCMID's World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week 2024: Key takeaways and path forward
The World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week (WAAW) is a global campaign celebrated annually from November 18 to 24 [1]. The event aims to raise awareness and understanding of AMR while promoting best practices among the public, healthcare professionals, scientists and policymakers. The theme for WAAW 2024 was “Educate. Advocate. Act now.” This specific theme called on the global community to educate stakeholders about AMR, advocate for bold commitments, but also to take concrete actions to address one of the most pressing global health and socioeconomic crises.
