. Fukuda added that the Transatlantic Taskforce on Antimicrobial Resistance was formed in 2009, and 2011 saw the release of the European Action Plan,1 the Jaipur Declaration,2 and the World Health Day "Antimicrobial resistance: no action today, no cure tomorrow" policy package.3 The outcome of this scientific work, said Fukuda, has been a plethora of scientific knowledge and guidelines -- from WHO, from the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE)

The meeting also mandated an Interagency Coordinating Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (IACG) , which is composed of high-level representatives of relevant UN agencies, other international organizations, and individual experts across different sectors, to provide practical guidance for approaches needed to ensure sustained effective global action to address antimicrobial resistance.

" He suggested employing multiple voices, including civil society and media, to recraft the concept as personal, urgent, and potentially reversible with appropriate action. Fukuda remarked that accelerating the pace of change will require closing certain knowledge gaps.

THE GLOBAL MOMENTUM TO COUNTER ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE 11 tional push funding has increased dramatically since 2014, she said, but more pull funding will be needed for diagnostics and therapeutics.6 Davies concluded her presentation by encouraging the audience to play a key role in the fight against antimicrobial resistance by following infection prevention and control practices, such as handwashing, which can reduce antibiotic consumption. 6 Push incentives, such as research grants, subsidized loans, and tax credits, aim to reduce industry's costs to help stimulate research and development through the basic research, preclinical, and clinical trial phrases, whereas pull incentives, such as add-on payments, market exclusivity, and intellectual property protections, are provided during the approval process and the post-market period to create viable market demand.
