The Tripartite united against AMR Effective and accessible antibiotics are as vital for protecting animal health and welfare and good veterinary medicines as they are for human health Dr Monique Eloit, OIE Director General UNGA 71 st Session, New York, September 2016 World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 8 World Organisation for Animal Health Protecting animals, Preserving our future 8
Why is antimicrobial resistance (AMR) a concern for the Tripartite? 9 Antimicrobial agents are essential to ensure human health, animal health and welfare, and food security. AMR challenges control of infectious diseases AMR increases care costs AMR compromises health security and damages economies There is a lack of coherent global approaches to prevention and containment The human, animal and plant sectors have a shared responsibility to prevent or minimise the development of antimicrobial resistance by both human and non-human pathogens.
