"We have experienced the challenges associated with the discovery, development, and launch of new antimicrobial therapies," said Stoffels. "For many diseases, patients have very few options for treatment today. Therefore, safeguarding the appropriate use of current options is critical to ensure that patients do not develop resistance."
"Collaborating with governments and other partners on challenging, yet critical global health issues is at the heart of our global public health commitment," said Jaak Peeters, head of Johnson & Johnson's Global Public Health organization. "We look forward to working with others on the interventions proposed in this declaration to combat AMR."
