3rd Meeting of the Latin American and Caribbean
Communities Empowered to Tackle Antimicrobial Resistance

Context

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious public health problem that affects humans, animals, and the environment alike. It also threatens health gains made over recent decades. Confronting this problem is a task that involves all of society. The objective of the Initiative – “Communities Empowered to Tackle Antimicrobial Resistance” – is to engage all sectors of society, but especially organized communities, in efforts to effectively tackle AMR.

These events convene diverse voices and perspectives, promoting an open and engaging dialogue with the goal to improve the health of all. Through open, cheerful, and hopeful dialogue in which art, music, stories, and dance are used to share knowledge, evidence and experience, participants will learn about the planet, the health of the earth and the optimal use of antimicrobials for present and future generations.

Reserve your dates and join us for the upcoming three events of the Communities Empowered Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)!
