In conversation with Dr. Muna Abu Sin, the first AMR Ambassador of Germany’s Federal Ministry of Health
In an exclusive interview, the Global Health Hub Germany had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Muna Abu Sin, the newly appointed AMR Ambassador of the German Federal Ministry of Health.
Our Global Health Hub Germany consists of more than 2000 non-state actors from various sectors. One of our 12 Hub Communities specializes in the topic of AMR. What role can the Hub and its members play in tackling AMR?
Muna Abu Sin: I really enjoyed the exchange we already had, and I hope it will continue. Your network is unique, and your range of perspectives is very rich. I see an important role for you in tackling antimicrobial resistance by engaging, communicating, and sharing your perspectives, and promoting understanding of the topic and its challenges. You join the AMR community at the interface with policy and dialogue, but also with other communities within and beyond the Global Health Hub.
As an AMR Ambassador, what message would you like to convey to the German public, policymakers, and international partners regarding AMR?
Muna Abu Sin: Antibiotics should never be a quick fix. Antimicrobial resistance can affect us all, and we all play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics now and for future generations, both individually and collaboratively.
This interview was conducted by Annika Tuchelt.
