Webinar: Addressing gender inequalities in national action plans on antimicrobial resistance [1]
[]
Date: 2024-07-11
Did you know that women are 27% more likely than men to receive antibiotics throughout their lifetime? Or that working in animal husbandry, industrial farming and slaughterhouses can expose men to antibiotics and drug-resistant infections? These are just some of the key findings of a recent evidence review on AMR and gender conducted by WHO and the Global Strategy Lab.
At this webinar, WHO will share further evidence on the relationship between AMR and gender, and outline 20 recommendations for policy-makers to consider when developing, revising, implementing or monitoring their national action plans on AMR in line with WHO's people-centred approach for addressing AMR.
Agenda:
Opening remarks: Anand Balachandran, National Action Plans and Monitoring (NPM) Unit, WHO Division of Antimicrobial Resistance
Methodology for the evidence review and mapping: Arne Ruckert, WHO Collaborating Centre on Global Governance of Antimicrobial Resistance, Global Strategy Lab
Key findings and recommendations: Zlatina Dobreva, NPM Unit, WHO Division of Antimicrobial Resistance
Panel discussion with Esmita Charani, Amparo Gordillo-Tobar, Taiwo Oyelade, Giada Tu Thanh, Erica Westwood
Q&A
Closing remarks: Anna Coates, Gender, Equity, Diversity and Rights for Health Department at WHO
