Perspectives from the ASC

---

The AMR Strategic Coalition (ASC), established in September 2025, is an independent organization that unites expert leaders in the United States across One Health sectors to build policy consensus, amplify voices, and deliver solutions to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the United States and globally. The ASC recognizes that with AMR threats growing around the world, there is greater need for collaboration for effective global action. Moreover, ASC appreciates that there are key developments at the global level leading to opportunities to help shape AMR work. This includes the new Independent Panel on Evidence for Action against Antimicrobial Resistance, which will be critical in coordinating and driving global action to advance efforts to combat AMR that are independent, balanced, and scientifically-based. 

As such, the ASC offers the World Health Organization (WHO) the following set of perspectives for consideration in the  development of the 2026 Global Action Plan on AMR (GAP). These perspectives represent a unanimous consensus of the U.S. stakeholder voices from across disciplines and One Health sectors available in the coalition.
