Declaration: One Health – Strengthened Nordic Cooperation on Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (commonly known as AMR) is one of the greatest global threats to public and animal health, as well as to food production. AMR is a typical example of a ‘One Health’ problem, where resistant microorganisms or resistance genes are transmitted between humans, animals and plants, often via the environment. The Nordic Ministers for - Health and Social affairs (MR-S), - Environment and Climate (MR-MK), and - Fisheries, Aquaculture, Agriculture, Food and Forestry (MR-FJLS) are now calling for a strengthened Nordic cooperation on Antimicrobial Resistance.
