EU launches €253 million One Health Partnership against antimicrobial resistance
The European Union has officially launched the Partnership on One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (OHAMR), a 10-year initiative with a budget of €253 million. The initiative will be co-funded by the EU-Member States and Associated Countries, and with €75 million by Horizon Europe.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge, projected to cause 67% more deaths worldwide by 2050. The European Partnership One Health AMR (EUP OHAMR) aims to address AMR using an integrated One Health approach, recognising the interconnection between human, animal, plant, and environmental health. The partnership will strengthen research and innovation, target knowledge gaps, and improve surveillance, diagnostics, and treatments for drug-resistant infections. It will also promote prevention measures, coordinate joint research activities, and support data sharing and uptake of research by industry, society, and policymakers.
Building on the Joint Programme Initiative on AMR (JPIAMR), EUP OHAMR has 53 partners from 30 countries. The partnership is coordinated by the Swedish Research Council.
