Coordinated action on antimicrobial resistance

This procedure focuses on coordinating efforts across EU member states to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It aims to ensure that bacteria, viruses, and fungi do not become resistant to the medicines used to treat infections, which is critical for maintaining the effectiveness of modern medicine and surgery.

This action affects healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and patients. It seeks to improve the prescription of antibiotics and enhance surveillance of resistant pathogens to protect public health.
