Professor Hanan Balkhy, the newly elected Regional Director for the World Health Organization in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, attended a discussion panel on 30th October titled: “Roadmap to AMR 2024” During the Global Health Exhibition.

Dr. Balkhy discussed the widespread use of antimicrobials across various sectors, from human medicine to agriculture. She also highlighted Saudi Arabia’s forthcoming initiative, the Fourth Ministerial Conference on Antimicrobial Resistance, slated for November 2023.

Balkhy lauded the sixth edition of the 2023 Global Health Exhibition, describing it as “a wealth of information, particularly with its sessions focused on the latest in health sectors.” She highlighted the significance of individual commitment to health, emphasizing that the well-being of the individual is central to all endeavors. Without a healthy person, she argued, real progress is challenging.
