Amb. Toru MORIKAWA opened the “Universal Health Coverage in an Era of Antimicrobial Resistance” Special Seminar co-organized by Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI), AMR Alliance Japan, and the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF). The seminar took place online and was attended by an international audience of interested stakeholders.
Amb. MORIKAWA, as ASEF’s Executive Director, highlighted the key importance of multilateral cooperation and coordination in addressing the ‘silent pandemic’ of AMR. He pointed out how AMR should be integrated in the global efforts to achieve Universal Health Coverage, since AMR’s current and future impact could be devastating from both a public health and an economic point of view. The time to act is now.
