PA International established its own StopAMR website, organized major conferences in the European Parliament, in the Chinese Institute of Animal Science, and with partner organizations in Jakarta, and addressed dozens of meetings and conferences from the US to China, from Ecuador to Belgium. The EU adopted a regulatory change allowing the marketing of alternatives to antibiotics for animal health and growth promotion. China adopted laws banning the use of many human-used antibiotics.

By 2050 300 million people – equivalent to almost all Indonesians – will have died of Antimicrobial Resistance
