PITTSBURGH, Oct. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS), a
global healthcare company, announced today it is hosting The Power
of Partnership to Address Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), a Nasdaq
webinar that will air on Tuesday, November
14, 2023 at 9 a.m. ET.
AMR is a significant threat to global health and economic
development. As the progression of AMR renders antibiotics less
effective, common infections, such as wound infections, urinary
tract infections, and pneumonia can increasingly be associated with
severe complications and increased risk of death. AMR is a major
driver of death globally, potentially accounting for more deaths
than HIV/AIDS and malaria worldwide.
The World Health Organization estimates that the number of
deaths due to AMR could rise to 10 million people a year by 2050
under the most alarming scenario if no action is taken. No one
company or entity can tackle the issue alone. Partnerships and
collaborations are critical to tackling the problem together.
Moderated by Erika Satterwhite,
Head of Global Policy at Viatris, the discussion will include
Melissa Gong Mitchell, Secretariat
Lead for the AMR Industry Alliance, and Dr. Yehoda Martei,
Assistant Professor of Medicine, and the Vice Chief of Diversity,
Inclusion and Health Equity in the Division of Hematology-Oncology
at the University of Pennsylvania.
