Medicines We Can Trust
Millions of people around the world lack access to quality medicines they can trust, putting lives at risk, costing economies billions and undermining decades of hard-earned health progress. The Medicines We Can Trust campaign is raising awareness about poor-quality and counterfeit medicines to make sure everyone has access to safe, quality medicines.
Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) — the threat of bacteria and other microbes becoming resistant to treatment by antibiotics and other lifesaving drugs — is a serious concern and public health threat.
Substandard and Falsified Medicines
Substandard and falsified medicines pose a grave global health threat causing more than a million patient deaths a year, reducing the effectiveness of medical treatment, contributing to drug resistant infections, depleting national health resources and posing a threat to domestic security.
