Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally,
particularly among children and young adults. This volume emphasizes the need to
effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health
systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce
incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in
resource-constrained settings.
