COVID taught the world that infectious disease can impact the global economy. Investments in #AMR that ultimately deliver a return need to be funded.

This is what global leadership looks like. Other governments should strive to match this plan.

It was a privilege to attend and make an intervention at today’s UN hearing in preparation for the General Assembly High-level meeting on AMR in September.

The brain drain is real and deeply concerning; having a sustainable innovation ecosystem would be a strong signal to younger scientists that their careers will be vibrant, and that starts with properly sized pull incentives by G7/EU markets!

As a parent whose daughter had to battle childhood leukemia (a 30 month protocol) and resulting hospitalizations due to infection, I echo the Union for International #CancerControl goal that everyone’s needs are met with compassion and care.

I’m glad this report has been issued but I’m not glad about what the report says; drug resistance is a growing health threat that needs to be addressed by both better prevention and more new treatments.

As ESCMID concludes, for those in Vienna, what was your favorite session?

An historic day as my alma mater! Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!
