The UK government and pharmaceutical company GSK have committed a total of £130 million to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This funding aims to address the global threat of drug-resistant superbugs and support access to essential antibiotics in Africa. The UK has also pledged £85 million to combat AMR, with a new action plan in place. Global leaders, including Prince William and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, are actively involved in efforts to tackle AMR and build stronger health systems worldwide.
