Support funding for Antimicrobial Resistance at HHS in FY21

costs of at least $20 billion. Globally, over 700,000 die each year accounting for a cost as high as $1.2 trillion. If we do not act now, by 2050 antibiotic resistant infections will be the leading cause of death – surpassing cancer – and could cost the world
$100 trillion.
