Moscow will host the International Conference ‘Antimicrobial Resistance: A Global Challenge to the National Well-Being of BRICS. Reality and Innovation’ on 30–31 May 2024.
The Conference will be attended by roughly 100 representatives of BRICS countries, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO), the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
Discussion topics at the Conference will include:
the current state of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the AMR monitoring system in BRICS countries;
standards and recommendations used in BRICS countries to determine sensitivity to antibiotics;
the feasibility of standardizing microbiological diagnostics and equipment used in BRICS countries;
scientific developments in the therapy, prevention, and diagnosis of infections in BRICS countries and opportunities for scientific cooperation in this field; and
antibiotic consumption in BRICS countries as part of the ‘One Health’ concept.
The participants will also consider areas for further cooperation in monitoring the problem of AMR within the BRICS framework.
Upon conclusion of the Conference, BRICS experts are expected to adopt a joint statement that will subsequently be presented at the High-Level Meeting of the UN General Assembly on Antibiotic Resistance in September 2024 in New York.
