Syria’s intersecting crises exacerbate antimicrobial resistance

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Protracted conflict has exacerbated existing drivers of antimicrobial resistance in Syria and introduced new ones; these drivers intersect, leading to a rising threat across Syria’s health system, where untreatable infections are rife. To tackle AMR in Syria, coordinated, multisectoral approaches which define the governance, behavioural and contextual factors, and the measures required to address them are needed. These require high-level leadership and investment from all vested stakeholders.
