UK Gov Launches 5-year Action-Plan and 20-year vision to Control Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

February 1, 2019February 4, 2019 MarketsandMarkets Conferences

A 5-year action plan has been published by the UK government on how UK will contribute to control and reduce AMR by 2040. The plan by the UK gov is made to cut down the number of drug-resistant infections by 10%, also reducing the use of antibiotics in human by 15% and prevent nearly 15,000 patients from contracting infections. The plan is to ensure current antibiotics remain powerful by reducing the quantity of resistant infections. Real-time patient data will be gathered by using new technology, which will help to understand…
