RECORDING: Bridging Tuberculosis & Antimicrobial Resistance through Advocacy

Time: 12:00 pm ET 

In September 2024, the United Nations will hold the second High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) to coordinate global action against this growing global health threat. While TB accounts for a significant proportion of AMR-related deaths and drug resistance is a major driver of the TB burden, drug-resistant TB is largely overlooked in the broader AMR agenda. It is clear that no effort to end TB will be successful without a robust AMR response and no AMR response will be complete without ending TB.

Co-hosted alongside Stop TB Canada, this webinar will explore the connections between TB and AMR, and call on the inclusion of TB within the AMR agenda. Speakers (to be announced soon!) will highlight some of the challenges and opportunities that exist in addressing the leading infectious disease killer, while mitigating the increasing risk of drug resistance.
