On the margins of the 2024 United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) High-level Meeting (HLM) on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the International Centre for Antimicrobial Resistance Solutions, and Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on AMR hosted by the World Health Organization are convening a side event to bring the voices and perspectives of the low-and middle-income countries and vulnerable communities most impacted by AMR to the conversation. This event aims to bring together representatives of UN Member States with a focus on LMICs, civil society, private sector, and other key stakeholders interested in AMR, including participants of the High-Level Meeting. The program will examine AMR through the lens of the LMICs experiences in implementing multisectoral National Action Plans (NAPs) through a one Health approach with a particular focus on equitable access, what works and what does not. It will also highlight the role and challenges faced by AMR survivors, youths, and the most vulnerable communities such as the indigenous populations due to AMR from a One Health lens.
