The papers selected by the Editors-in-Chief for WAAW 2025 cover a broad range of issues from antimicrobial stewardship programmes around the world, outbreaks of resistant pathogens in local healthcare settings, to the impact of conflict and gender on AMR.
Many of the papers are open access and free to read for all. HIS members have free access to JHI subscription articles via the member portal.
