Zoom Webinar
Join public health experts and economists for a conversation on the coming global crisis: antimicrobial germs, or ‘superbugs’.
The Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) recently published a new report, titled “The World Needs Better Incentives to Combat Superbugs” which called for swift action on this growing crisis. As outlined in their new report, antimicrobial resistant germs are killing tens of thousands of Americans annually, and the problem is only getting worse in the post-COVID age.
Hear from leading experts about the health and economic costs of the crisis, and the policy actions needed now.
Panelists:
Amanda Jezek, Senior Vice President for Public Policy and Government Relations at the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA)
Dr. Robert Popovian, PPI Senior Fellow for Health Policy (Moderator)
Dr. Michael Mandel, PPI’s Chief Economist
