AMR Leaders' Summit Agenda
Key topics
❯ Implementing national AMR action plans: gaps and opportunities in the region
❯ Surveillance systems and genomics in AMR tracking
❯ Diagnostics as a frontline defense: rapid testing and POCT integration
❯ Antibiotic stewardship models in hospital and community settings
❯ One Health approach: environmental and veterinary intersections
❯ Policy innovations and funding models for sustainable AMR combat
❯ Technology transfer and local manufacturing for AMR solutions
❯ Patient safety, infection control, and AMR outcomes
How different is this AMR Leaders' Summit from others?
❯ First GCC-based AMR launch inside a global-scale diagnostics platform ensuring both technical depth and policy reach.
❯ Bridges policy, technology, and clinical implementation not siloed in science-only or policy-only spaces.
❯ Global + Regional focus: Content shaped by international AMR leaders but grounded in GCC and MENA realities.
❯ Embedded in WHX Labs’ scale-20,000+ attendees across tracks; AMR Summit leverages this visibility while maintaining its own identity.
❯ Outcome-driven: Aims for policy commitments, funding pledges, and cross-sector partnerships, not just presentations.
