Global Patient Safety Challenge Antimicrobial Resistance
The World Alliance for Patient Safety has established a coalition of internal WHO programmes (including the WHO programme on food-related antimicrobial resistance as lead of the "Animal Husbandry" working group) and external partners to address antimicrobial resistance, under the direction of Dr David Heymann, as the topic for its third Global Patient Safety Challenge. This programme is due to be launched in 2010.
