The impacts of climate change have an outsized impact on maternal, newborn, and child health. UNGA79 sustained multi-sectoral action for #MNCH progress toward the #SDGs.

“While #AntimicrobialResistance is very much a global issue affecting all countries, those hardest hit are in places where proper lab diagnostics and antibiotics are not available,” said Amy Hessing Cannon. “The #AMR Resolution signifies a global commitment to tackle this crisis through coordinated action, increased funding, and enhanced collaboration across sectors.” Implementing commitments from the AMR Resolution can lead to improved monitoring, access to appropriate treatments, and enhanced infection prevention measures. “The scale up of point-of-care testing for a range of infections could have an enormous impact on our ability to provide the right treatment for the right patients at the right time,” said Lisa Noguchi, PhD, CNM, FACNM.
