The silent pandemic of AMR, infections brought on by bacteria resistant to antibiotics, was also addressed. Health ministers pledged to do this by looking into a variety of market incentive options that are intended to entice pharmaceutical companies and other businesses to fund the development of new antibiotics. A leading cause of death globally, AMR is expected to result in 1.27 million fatalities annually, with about 1 in 5 of those deaths occurring in children under the age of five. Climate and health commitments were also established, with G7 members pledging to develop climate-neutral health systems by 2050 at the latest, and the G7 pledging to assist all nations in this endeavor.
