Abstract

The United Nations General Assembly on AMR in 2024 is an opportunity to focus attention on the importance of universal access to safe, effective, and affordable essential antibiotics. Defining these key essential antibiotics and reducing the technical and economic barriers to their sustainable and equitable access should be a core component of the Universal Health Coverage Action Agenda.
