Antibiotics play a crucial role in many more areas of life than most people imagine. However, antibiotics are starting to lose their effectiveness due to resistant infections, and the consequences will be far-reaching if decisive and rapid action is not taken globally.
Antibiotic resistance would seriously jeopardise the achievement of several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This include the goals on human, animal and environmental health, poverty reduction, food security, economic growth and so on. The SDGs are deeply inter-connected and many goals and targets rely on one another to achieve the envisioned state of wellbeing and sustainability.
Antibiotic resistance knows no sectorial limits, country borders or other divisions and therefore requires a level of cooperation that other challenges have not demanded before.
The Swedish Network for International Cooperation on Antimicrobial Resistance aims to gather different stakeholders in Sweden to formulate ideas for how Sweden can take an active role in integrating antimicrobial resistance into international strategies and processes, to identify gaps at the global and EU level where Sweden could take a more proactive role and to share Sweden’s experiences abroad and learning from international initiatives.
A short movie about the history and the current status of antibiotics. Produced by ReAct and Uppsala University, Sweden. Production: www.visuallab.no
