Antimicrobial resistance

  Antimicrobial resistance poses a major threat to global health. We are losing the ability to treat and prevent infections as antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis and anti-malarial drugs lose their effectiveness. Economic analysis can support policy discussions about antimicrobial resistance. Imagine you are an economic advisor at the UK’s Department of Health and Social Care. You have been tasked to produce a policy proposal that addresses the challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Draw from the economic ideas covered in this module to develop your policy proposal.
