FINPHARM Closing Conference - Antibiotic Crises: A Global Ward Round - Panel 2: AMR in Conflict

First presentation: “Armed conflict as an under-investigated pathway for AMR with growing significance” by Antoine Abou Fayad, Associate Professor, Department of Experimental Pathology, Immunology and Microbiology, American University of Beirut

Second presentation: “AMR, conflict and humanitarian healthcare” by Aula Abbara, Consultant in Infectious Diseases and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College, London

For the past five years the FINPHARM team has been analysing case studies on the impact of financialisation on the development and use of pharmaceuticals in several areas of global health significance. Their work on the antibiotics has brought them into collaboration with researchers around the world who have published on antibiotic crises. To close the project, the FINPHARM team held a Conference on 25 October 2024, with contributions from across disciplines, including academics and practitioners, in order to continue to build a community of practice to work towards solutions to access, availability and appropriate use of these critical medicines.
