In the lead-up to the UNGA High-Level Meeting, ReAct Asia-Pacific organized a conference in Jakarta, Indonesia, from August 21-23, 2024. The theme was ‘Unifying Voices of the Region on Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance: UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AMR and Beyond'.
The conference convened key stakeholders from 19 countries, over 25 civil society organizations, policymakers, AMR experts, researchers, and representatives from Quadripartite agencies, government bodies, non-governmental organizations, and academia from Asia-Pacific region.
Professor Dr. Dante Saksono Harbuwono, Indonesia’s Vice Minister of Health, emphasized in his opening address the importance of the One Health approach and a people-centered framework for addressing AMR.
The conference served as a platform for collating diverse perspectives and recommendations, with a focus on sustaining momentum beyond the UNGA High-Level Meeting on AMR. Additionally, it shared lessons from vertical programmes, such as TB and HIV, that can be applied to the AMR space.
The event underscored the importance of unifying the voices of diverse stakeholders in addressing AMR. In a side event on youth engagement, youth representatives from various organizations presented their work and reiterated the crucial role of youth in combating AMR.
