Today the UN General Assembly is doing something it has done only four times before — they are addressing a global health issue. Like HIV, Ebola and chronic disease that has come before it, the topic generating high levels of concern now is antimicrobial resistance or superbugs. Since Penicillin was discovered in 1928, antibiotic resistance was understood — and feared. Fast forward: antibiotics save lives, but they are used too often which speeds up resistances and makes it harder, and sometimes impossible, to treat infections with the drugs at hand. Guest host Nia-Malika Henderson and our panel discuss the rise of superbugs and what to do about it.
