  • In 2017, we hope that it will be a given that civil society is consulted upon by all policy-makers in taking local, national, and global action towards antimicrobial resistance. From efforts such as the UN Inter-Agency Coordination Group on AMR to the implementation of the WHO Global Action Plan across countries, civil society such as those within the Antibiotic Resistance Coalition must be at the forefront of discussions among other key stakeholders.

Madre Tierra, Una Sola Salud
Encuentro para entender y aprehender:

Alentando las ansias para preservar la vida,
Cultivando los afectos, defendiendo la tierra, cuidando los antibióticos,
Recuperando los sueños olvidados, los saberes populares,
Transformando la angustia colectiva en esperanza,
Caminando juntos, buscando el Corazón de la Ciencia y la Vida.
