The 10 steps to reducting AMR according to the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance.

1 Public awareness. Improving global awareness of AMR to reduce use of antibiotics when theyre not needed.

2 Improved hygiene. Focus on improving basic access to water and sanitation, and reduce infectious diseases in hospital and care settings.

3 Reducing antibiotics in agriculture and their dissemination in the environment, as well as use simply to promote growth.

4 Global surveillance of AMR. From levels of drug resistance to consumption of antimicrobials in both humans and animals.

5 Develop rapid diagnostics. Investing in the Global Innovation Fund to revolutionise the way antimicrobials are used.

6 New vaccines and alternatives. Lowering the demand for reactive treatments and renew early research for vaccines.

7 Recognition of hard work. Increasing the numbers of people working in infectious disease, the recognition of those already doing so, and improving pay for important work.

8 Creating a Global Innovations Fund. Supporting early-stage development in a field where public and private R&D is lacking.

9 Incentives for investment. Creating a commercial viable market for antibiotics that will incentivise investment in R&D spending.

10 Collaboration on a global scale. Bringing together global partners including the G20 and the UN to build worldwide support against AMR.
