According to them, the conference’s objective is to provide a platform for Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), and Patient Safety stakeholders from the Global South (resource-limited countries in Asia, Africa, Middle East, and South America) to collaborate on better policies, research, tailored solutions, and practices on IPC, AMS, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), and pandemic preparedness.

The organizers highlighted that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) impacts people of all ages and transcends borders, affecting every country. However, the burden is disproportionately heavier on developing nations and vulnerable populations. This necessitates tailored solutions to address the unique challenges faced by the Global South. Therefore, collaborative efforts and South-South cooperation are essential in tackling global health threats like AMR.
