[Nigeria Health Watch] Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it as one of the top 10 global public health threats confronting humanity. However, because the impact is slow and often in conflict with economic interests, it is unrecognised and does not receive the attention it needs from public health leaders. This new study brings the burden of AMR to the world and to Nigeria, and there are many lessons to be learnt.
