It was a pleasure to join HE Minister Khaled Abdelghafar, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of @mohpegypt 🇪🇬, HE Mr Badr Abdelaty, Foreign Minister of Egypt 🇪🇬, and HE Mr Abdulaziz Al-Rumaih, Vice Minister at @SaudiMOH🇸🇦 at the #UNGA79 side event “Addressing Antimicrobial Resistance Challenges Including in Migrant and Refugee Populations” – an issue that has received only limited attention. #AMR affects migrants and refugees as they move within and across countries. Their mobility disrupts their health care provision and ability to receive treatment. In addition, migrants and refugees face severe barriers in accessing health care and may resort to self-medication or the use of non-prescribed medicines. The availability of safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services in refugee and migrant settings is also challenging, making infection prevention and control difficult. Addressing the health needs of migrants and refugees throughout their journey is fundamental to tackling inequities linked to social, economic, and political determinants of AMR.
