Updated Swedish strategy to combat antibiotic resistance

The strategy to combat antibiotic resistance will form the basis of Sweden’s work to curb the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, and to prevent and manage its consequences. Sweden’s efforts to combat antibiotic resistance at national, EU and international levels must be long-term and sustainable and be based on effective initiatives in all relevant areas.

Sweden’s international leadership
