Antibiotic-Resistant Bugs Will Kill As Many As Cancer By 2050; UN Report<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Deaths from drug-resistant infections are set to skyrocket by 2050<\/strong>, according to the UN 2023\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0\u2018Bracing for Superbugs: Strengthening environmental action in the One Health response to antimicrobial resistance.\u2019<\/p>\n

Unless drastic action is taken to tackle the problem, it could also lead to a GDP shortfall of $3.4 trillion annually in the next decade and push 24 more people into extreme poverty.<\/p>\n

As Statista’s Anna Fleck reports<\/a>, according to\u00a0recent estimates<\/a>, in 2019, 1.27 million deaths were directly attributed to drug-resistant infections globally, while 4.95 million deaths were linked with bacterial AMR<\/strong>. That\u2019s now well above the death counts of major killers HIV\/AIDS and malaria, which were estimated to have claimed the lives of 860,000 and 640,000, respectively, that year. As the following chart shows, antibiotic-resistant infections could kill as many as 10 million people in just three decades – on par with the 2020 death toll from\u00a0cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Although the risks of AMR will impact people worldwide, Low-Income Countries (LICs) and Lower-Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are expected to see the highest death tolls. By region, Asia is predicted to see the highest number of AMR-related deaths<\/strong> per 10,000 population in 2050 (4,730,000), followed by Africa (4,150,000), Latin America (392,000), Europe (390,000), North America (317,000) and Oceania (22,000).<\/p>\n

According to the report, AMR also exacerbates inequalities within societies <\/strong>and so groups including women, children, migrants, refugees, people employed in sectors such as agriculture or healthcare, as well as those living in poverty will be particularly vulnerable to drug-resistant infections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
