| Abstract: | The prevention of health-care-associated infections and reduction in their avoidable impact on health systems is crucial to make facilities safer for patients worldwide. Additionally, the increasing public health burden of antimicrobial resistance has driven WHO and the UN to take action. Strong political commitment was highlighted as key to the reduction of antimicrobial resistance at the UN General Assembly in September, 2016, in New York. [excerpt] |
