Diagnostics: A round table discussion

AMR is one of the most pressing global health issues. Stewardship of existing and new antimicrobials, which is key to reducing the burden of AMR, depends on the appropriate and judicious use of diagnostic tools. However, this area is relatively neglected and may benefit from greater coordination between different organisations. This is especially important given upcoming investment, legislation and meetings on AMR and health security more broadly.

The goal of this roundtable discussion, which will be held on 12 April. is to bring together select organisations that work on diagnostic tools in AMR from different angles to: 

• Share their current work, and share their priorities and current challenges

• Discuss the broader strategy for diagnostic tools within the AMR field, and work towards identifying common goals.

A top-line summary and recording of the roundtable will be shared here shortly!
