Geography
Resources for addressing health inequalities in antimicrobial resistance based on geography.
People living in certain geographic areas, including rural and coastal communities, may be disproportionately affected by drug-resistant infections due to variation in deprivation, access to healthcare services, and local patterns of infection and antimicrobial use. These are factors that intersectional AMR research identifies as drivers of inequitable AMR exposure and outcomes.
