Health Policy Watch (HPW) "Targets that aimed to reduce the use of antimicrobials in the livestock industry have been dropped from the latest version of the draft UN Political Declaration on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), reportedly as a result of pressure from major meat-producing nations and the veterinary drug industry.
The draft declaration, which aims to curb growing pathogen resistance to leading antibiotics, antiviral and antiparasitic drugs, was distributed amongst UN member states on 9 September ahead of the United Nations High-Level Meeting (HLM) on 26 September."
