The fight against antimicrobial resistance is significant for cancer prevention and treatment
9 December 2020
| Advocacy brief

Overview
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has implications for many other health issues, from cancer to the health workforce to laboratory quality. The fight to keep antibiotics working cannot be won by the health sector alone – it will require collaboration from many sectors and sections of government, and from health workers and patients. This suite of advocacy documents was created to explain how AMR affects health in different contexts and how focusing on different sectors can contribute to managing AMR.
