A global conference taking place in Berlin in October will accelerate action on tackling drug-resistant infections, one of the greatest health and economic challenges of our time.

The conference, in Berlin on 12 and 13 October 2017, is organised by Wellcome in partnership with the UK and Thai governments and the UN Foundation. It will support the work of the Antimicrobial Resistance Inter-Agency Coordination Group (IACG).

The event is an opportunity for national governments and multilateral institutions to come together with the civil society, private and philanthropic sectors to focus on the most critical gaps in tackling the development and spread of drug-resistant infections, and to commit to concerted and tangible actions.

The full details of the event can be found at Wellcome Trust or contact the team directly AMRCallToAction@wellcome.ac.uk
