Posted on 26.09.2024

To mark the II UN General Assembly High-Level on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), MedTech Europe stands as a proud supporter of the European Network on Infection Prevention and Antimicrobial Resistance (ENIPAR).

As AMR stands out as one of the top 3 health threats in the European Union, a new Call to Action with baseline recommendations urges decision makers to take timely action to ensure the 2030 targets are met. Successful implementation of high-impact, evidence-based interventions is key to strengthening the EU response to healthcare-associated infections and AMR prevention and control (IPC). The factors that make this possible work best in combination and include the following areas: governance and leadership; surveillance; community and workforce awareness; IPC instruments; and medical technologies and tools.

We cannot afford to waste any more time!
