World Health Organization resolution WHA67.25 'Combating antimicrobial resistance including antibiotic resistance' urges member states 'to develop or strengthen national plans, strategies and international collaboration for the containment of antimicrobial resistance'. Such calls have been heard before. What is different this time, how do we break the mould to ensure that significant international change occurs, and how is South Africa positioning itself to respond to the call? This editorial looks at ways to approach the problem.
世界卫生组织第WHA67.25号决议“抗击包括抗生素耐药性在内的抗菌药物耐药性”敦促各成员国“制定或加强遏制抗菌药物耐药性的国家计划、战略及国际合作”。此前也曾有过此类呼吁。此次有何不同，我们如何打破常规以确保发生重大的国际变革，南非又如何定位自身以响应这一呼吁？本社论探讨解决该问题的方法。
