The GLG, chaired by Interim Chair Hon. Minister @jakobforssmed, held an information session today ahead of the 5th Global High-Level Ministerial Conference on AMR, taking place in Abuja, Nigeria, on 6–8 December 2026. We thank H.E. Prof. @muhammadpate, Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare of Nigeria, for briefing GLG members and partners on preparations for the Conference. The session provided an opportunity to: 🔹 Take stock of progress in preparations for the Conference and reaffirm the importance of sustained political leadership to accelerate implementation of global AMR commitments. 🔹 Emphasize the need for an action-oriented Abuja Compact, with concrete commitments and clear responsibilities, particularly on AMR prevention, One Health coordination, health systems strengthening and sustainable financing. 🔹 Advocate for stronger global AMR governance, including greater coherence among existing mechanisms and more impactful ministerial conferences to sustain political momentum, strengthen accountability and drive implementation. 🌍 Sustained political leadership and collective action are essential to accelerating progress against AMR. #AntimicrobialResistance #OneHealth #ActOnAMR @amrghmc

A significant step from commitment to implementation on #AMR. We welcome the adoption by countries of the Americas of the @pahowho Plan of Action on Antimicrobial Resistance 2027–2031 at the 63rd Pan American Health Organization Directing Council. Sustained political leadership and coordinated One Health action across human, animal, agrifood and environmental sectors will be essential to turn global AMR commitments into measurable results. #ActOnAMR #OneHealth

As the @FAO Global Conference for Actions on One Health in Agrifood System is ongoing, we remind that turning #OneHealth into action across agrifood systems is critical to tackling AMR. The GLG has consistently called for transforming food systems to reduce the need for #antimicrobialsand promote their responsible and sustainable use.

🗓️ 18–24 November 2026 | World AMR Awareness Week 📢The theme for #WAAW2026 is: “One Health, one action: Prevent AMR now.” Antimicrobial resistance is no longer a future threat. It is happening now, affecting people, animals, food systems, economies and the environment. From 18–24 November 2026, let us turn awareness into action across human, animal, plant and environmental health. Every sector. Every community. Every action matters. #WAAW2026 #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance #OneHealth #PreventAMR

Fungal diseases and antifungal resistance remain an under-recognized but growing global health challenge. The new WHO Blueprint for Strengthening Responses to Fungal Disease and Antifungal Resistance provides countries with practical guidance to strengthen prevention, surveillance, diagnosis, treatment, and research through a coordinated One Health approach. The Global Leaders Group on AMR welcomes this important guidance and encourages governments, partners, and stakeholders to support its implementation and help strengthen national responses. #AMR #AntifungalResistance #FungalDiseases #OneHealth #ActOnAMR Read the Blueprint here: t.ly/gjOOT

Congratulations to GLG member @MekdesDaba, Minister of Health of Ethiopia, on her appointment as Co-Chair of the @Pandemic_Fund Governing Board.

A renewed global framework to accelerate action on antimicrobial resistance.

The GLG welcomes this achievement and thanks Member States, the Quadripartite organizations, and all stakeholders for their leadership and engagement, and remains committed to advancing the political leadership needed to preserve the effectiveness of #antimicrobials for current and future generations. #OneHealth #WHA79 #AMR The priority now is implementation, translating commitments into action, mobilizing sustainable financing, strengthening accountability, and supporting countries to deliver impact across sectors. t.ly/4OyZ0
