GRAM report: Antimicrobial resistance involved in five million deaths

Health Europa — January 20, 2022. “From being an unrecognised and hidden problem, a clearer picture of the burden of AMR is finally emerging. Even the lower end of 911,000 deaths estimated by Murray and colleagues is higher than the number of deaths from HIV, which attracts close to $50bn each year. However, global spending on addressing AMR is probably much lower than that.” Ramanan Laxminarayan from the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy.
