“If we want to solve the huge global threat posed by AMR, India will have to play a central role. We are one of the first countries globally to initiate a National Action Plan on AMR. But we need more cohesion and direction in our efforts. India AMR Innovation Hub, anchored by C-CAMP will be a platform for convergence of mandates across the ecosystem to enable collective action.”
