文档介绍：2015 - 2019 ReAct Strategic Plan OUR VISION OUR MISSION OUR GOALS ??? A world free from fear of untreatable infections. Concerted action to develop equitable and ecologically grounded solutions to contain ABR, that contribute to universal health coverage, poverty reduction and global developmen Convene, translate evidence and catalyze action on antibiotic resistance to reduce suffering and save lives; Identify, innovate and promote solutions and best practices; Partner, mobilize, and empower munities and champions for change. t. In the last seven decades, the use of antibiotics has helped drastically reduce deaths due to a variety of bacterial infections establishing these as the cornerstone of all modern medicine. From treatment of blood infections and pneumonia to major invasive procedures like heart surgeries an transplants, antibiotics have eindispensable. The growing phenomenon of bacterial antibiotic resistance (ABR) is now threatening to leave us without effective treatment of bacterial infections and rolling backimportant achievementsof modernmedicine. The spread of ABR, coupled with the lack of novel antibiotics, is threatening health systems globally. It has been fuelled by massive use and misuse of antibiotics together with poor sanitation and lack of hygiene and infection control. Polluted environments from aquaculture, agriculture, wastewater from municipalities, pharmaceutical manufacturing and hospitals also contribute to ABR development and dissemination . ABR is currently considered one of the world's greatest public health threats and also an economic and environmental risk . In the European Union alone approximately 25000 patients died of resistant infections in 2007, while the societal costs of such infections are estimated at about billion eachyear . In the United States, each year, at least 2 million people e infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die as a direct result of these infections. Es
