Tackling
antimicrobial resistance is the most complex thing since climate change
and is a key priority for Dame Sally Davies in her role as Chief
Medical Officer. Having secured support nationally from the Prime
Minister and UK Government for the need to action, she is working
tirelessly internationally to increase global awareness and secure
commitments to action.
In this Discourse, Dame Sally explores
why antimicrobial resistance has developed to such an extent that it is
now a threat to modern medicine. She looks at how it is spreading across
the globe, why we need to urgently change our attitude towards
antimicrobials, in particular antibiotics, so that we treat them as a
common good – not only in health but also in agriculture, farming,
aquaculture and the environment.
Antimicrobials are a wonder
drug, but only when used effectively. If we do not learn how to look
after them, we could see a return to ‘pre-antibiotic era’ where 40%
mortality is due to infections – something that is difficult to believe
now.
Dame Sally Davies is the Chief Medical Officer of the
UK, acting as the UK government’s principal medical adviser and the
professional head of all directors of public health in local government.
