Organizer: Industry Canada

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem with efforts underway by individual countries, and by the G7 and WHO, to address the issues.  

As global efforts advance, Canada must examine the challenges and opportunities in research and development around AMR.  The purpose of this panel is to open the Canadian conversation around innovation:  what is Canada currently doing and what are the considerations for moving forward both domestically and internationally. 

Panelists from government and industry will discuss the current efforts underway globally and in Canada on AMR, and the role that innovation and partnerships in the health research community and industry will need to play to address the problems.
