The World Economic Forum launched the Davos Compact on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in 2025 to support global action against drug-resistant infections.
The compact aims to mobilize public and private financing to reduce deaths caused by AMR.
AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites stop responding to antimicrobial medicines such as antibiotics and antivirals.
The compact aims to help save more than 100 million lives globally by 2050.
In India, about 6 lakh people die every year due to infections caused by antimicrobial resistance.
