About the webinar
This webinar explored the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Europe, with insights into data and methods. The AMR burden in Germany was presented to showcase the use of incidence- and prevalence-based burden analyses and the development of outcome trees in collaboration with the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The session also examined how local findings compare with global burden estimates (GBD) and how these results can inform public health actions.
Join us to gain valuable insights into AMR’s impact and future directions for tackling this critical health threat.
