 Welcome Message
Dear amazing participants,

We are excited to welcome you to the very first global AMR Youth Summit! We hope you are
looking forward to engaging with your fellow colleagues, through this unique experience
connecting youth with experts from the world of pharmacy, medicine, veterinary, dentistry and
agriculture to emulate a true One Health strategy. The summit has gathered over 4000
registrants from 127 countries worldwide, across 20 disciplines.

We will engage high-level experts and stakeholders during our discussions to bring direction to
our goals and initiate plans to build our calls to action.

Youth are the future, we will lead generations to come in our interdisciplinary fight against AMR
and we will continue to highlight the importance of our involvement during such high-level
discussions. The event will ensure empowerment and education of youth, networking, and
sharing of best practices and actions, as well as gathering of experiences, insights, and
recommendations.

This is your space to grow, share, inspire and act on AMR. We hope that the experience in this
event will be engraved in your memory.We look forward to seeing your active participation

WHSA which includes IADS, IFMSA, IPSF, and IVSA, along with IAAS have come came
together representing 1.9 millions of pharmaceutical, medical, dentistry, veterinary, and
agricultural students from 155 countries and are organizing this event.

IADS: The International Association of Dental Students was founded in 1951

in Denmark, in order to serve the educational needs of dental students
throughout the world. Representing the interests of more than 200,000
dental students in around 60 countries worldwide and having its
headquarters at the FDI World Dental Federation headquarters in Geneva
(Switzerland), the Association strives for educational and scientific
excellence throughout the international projects and initiatives it manages.

IFMSA: The International Federation of Medical Students' Associations

((IFMSA) was founded in 1951 in Denmark. We represent 1.4 million medical
students from more than 130 countries. It envisions a world in which medical
students unite for global health and are equipped with the knowledge, skills
and values to take on health leadership roles locally and globally.

IPSF: The International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation (IPSF) was

founded in 1949 and now represents more than 500,000 pharmacy students
and recent graduates in 92 countries worldwide. IPSF is the leading
international advocacy organization for pharmacy and pharmaceutical
science students. We promote improved public health through the provision
of information, education, and networking opportunities as well as a range of
publications and professional activities.

IVSA: International Veterinary Students’ Association (IVSA) is a non-profit,

non-governmental organization founded in 1951 and is also the largest
veterinary student association in the world. With the expansion of IVSA over
73 countries, 194 member organizations and 38,529 members, IVSA helps to
expand the worldwide collaboration of the students, enriching their student
experience and improving their skills as future veterinarians.

IAAS: Founded in 1957 in Tunis by 8 countries, the International Association of Students in

Agricultural and Related Sciences (IAAS) is at the moment one of the world's largest student
organizations and the leading agricultural student association. Its committees are spread in
universities in over 50 countries worldwide. IAAS’ mission is to promote the exchange of
experience, knowledge and ideas, and to improve the mutual understanding between students in
the field of agriculture and related sciences all over the world

 Saturday Rational use of antimicrobials for
21th November 2020
14:00 GMT+0 animals
The availability and use of antimicrobial medicines has transformed the practice of human and animal medicine.
Infections that were once lethal are now treatable, and the use of antimicrobial drugs has advanced global health as
well as animal health, which is a key component of policies to improve animal welfare, food security and food safety.
Preserving the efficacy of these life-saving medications, as well as their availability for both human and veterinary
use, is therefore essential to preserve our future. The development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) compromises
this dual objective and impacts our ability to successfully treat infectious diseases.

 Saturday
Access to antimicrobials & AMR 21th November 2020
15:15 GMT+0

Excess Vs Access, the true essence of the fight against antimicrobial resistance is built on limiting the excessive use of
antimicrobials, the challenge begins when also trying to broaden the access of antimicrobials to ensure timely and
effective treatment. In many Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC), deaths are on the rise due to lack of access to
treatment, leading to complications and eventually death, from diseases which are easily treatable. As a consequence, 1
in 10 medical products in LMICs are substandard or falsified, with antimicrobials being amongst the most popular
products to be used. The use of these products can also contribute to antimicrobial resistance and drug-resistant
infections.
This session aims to explore both sides of the fine balance of Excess Vs. Access and what needs to be done to ensure
those in need are at the forefront of the supply chain whilst maintaining the good manufacturing practices (GMP).

AMR and policymaking 22nd November 2020
14:00 GMT+0

Change can be achieved both ways, from acting and raising awareness on the community level to updating and
regulating legislations and policies on the decision-making level. After countries of the world adopted the Global Action
Plan on AMR some years ago, each country has established a national action plan which regulates the plans and
engagement of its government and stakeholders to tackle AMR. The session will discuss the different levels of action
related to policymaking and AMR, and point out youth roles and involvement in it.

 Youth role on AMR

youth on how to take active action against AMR, sharing different areas and ways that youth can act on and also
providing them with tips and advice to ensure a productive and meaningful engagement.

 Effective behavioral change and
AMR

We often talk about the need to limit the number of prescriptions by primary care physicians to aid in the fight against
AMR, but we fail to acknowledge a key facilitator during this; the patient and target population. In many cases,
primary care physicians can be demanded by patients to be supplied with antimicrobials due to their lack of
understanding about the use of antimicrobials. We must start with the public if we are hoping for change at the source
of the demand. As healthcare professionals, it is our duty to ensure patients have complete understanding of their
treatment plan, which includes medical education on antimicrobials. The same situation applies to animal and
agriculture users, health professionals themselves, and other actors abusing or misusing antimicrobials. This session
aims to analyse the steps to behavioural change and how this can be facilitated and applied to everyday contact with
different target populations.

 A global challenge within a local
perspective, adapting to local contexts

Think globally, Act locally. This has been guidance that we as health students followed in our youth engagement
against different health issues. Local action is the key to bring up change and solve the problem from its roots. Today
when talking about AMR, a local approach is essential for youth and other actors to adopt so they can be able to
prevent and control it.
This workshop will share guidance about the basics of local actions on AMR, how to identify and adapt to the local
context, and build your actions based on that.

 Effective Advocacy and campaigning
on AMR

AMR as a public health problem is complex and involves many factors and actors. To bring change and ensure
optimal AMR prevention and control, long-term action, and change in the legislation and policies as well as people’s
behaviors should be achieved. This requires a well-planned advocacy plan and a structured campaign to engage
both the population and decision-makers and stakeholders on board. This workshop will take participants on a
journey to empower them so they can successfully start their own advocacy campaigns on AMR while learning
about success stories and the main tools and strategies to help them do so.
