The Antibiotic Paradox: Use Less, Prepare More

In recognition of World AMR Awareness Week, AmCham Sweden is hosting a panel discussion on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in collaboration with The Stockholm Project. The discussion will focus on the challenge of securing reliable access to effective antibiotics while using them as sparingly as possible.

Effective antibiotics are a form of societal infrastructure. They make advanced surgery, intensive care, transplantation, cancer treatment and the safe management of ordinary infections possible. Preserving their effectiveness requires cooperation across healthcare, government and industry, with implications for innovation, supply security and long-term preparedness.

The discussion will bring together clinical, policy, and industry perspectives to examine how Sweden can strengthen antibiotic preparedness and where Swedish–U.S. cooperation can make an impact. Because combating AMR and building resilient biomedical supply chains are recognized as shared priorities under the U.S.–Sweden Technology Prosperity Deal, this panel is a key part of AmCham Sweden’s ongoing work to support the agreement's implementation.
