Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to global health, disproportionally affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where health systems face infrastructure and resource constraints. While robust policy frameworks are essential, addressing AMR also requires actionable implementation through effective, real-word interventions and innovation.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the unique intersection of global health partnerships in AMR, with a particular focus on initiatives in LMICs—from strategic frameworks to on-the-ground impact.
We welcome contributions from professionals across the health sector—from academics, researchers, and policy makers to healthcare providers, implementers, and community health workers—sharing their practical experiences, innovations, and evidence-based solutions. Submissions may include original research, case-studies, and policy analyses that explore the design and implementation of AMR interventions, the influence of health partnerships, multidisciplinary, and collaborative work on national, regional, and local practices, and lessons learnt from global health initiatives.
By showcasing real-world solutions and fostering dialogue in the global health arena, this Special Issue aims to deepen understanding of how global health partnerships and collaborations drive sustainable progress, from policy to practice, for the contention of AMR.
