WHO Press Conference
Press Conference Announcement
A new report by the World Health Organization (WHO) will be published on 29 April capturing countries’ own assessments of their response to the threat of antimicrobial resistance, including antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial resistance has been detected in all parts of the world. It threatens the effective prevention and treatment of infections caused by bacteria (e.g. gonorrhoea), parasites (e.g. malaria), viruses (e.g. HIV), and fungi (e.g. Candida).
Dr Charles Penn, WHO Coordinator, Antimicrobial resistance
