Partnering to tackle antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is claiming more than a million lives every year and is considered one of the greatest global health threats of today and of the future. At ICARS, we work with committed low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to generate new AMR-mitigation solutions that are cost-effective and feasible to implement at a large scale, while relying on national and international partners to maximise our impact.

ICARS was initiated by the Danish government in late 2018 with a mission to partner with LMICs to co-develop sustainable solutions to tackle AMR. Since our inception, many LMICs have shown interest in partnering with us to advance the implementation of their AMR National Action Plans. With more than ten projects being implemented and several more under co-development, ICARS has started with great momentum. However, in order to reach our ambitious mission and make a difference in LMICs and globally, we need countries and foundations to join in and support our efforts.
