[Personal View] (Un)intended consequences: a social sciences stocktake of a decade of Global Action Plan-inspired antimicrobial governance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a major global health threat. Despite increasing international attention, AMR governance has often neglected social and equity dimensions, and there is a crucial need to synthesise evidence from social sciences and humanities scholarship to devise more people-centred approaches. In this Personal View, we report a qualitative stocktake of the intended and unintended consequences of the most recent phase of global AMR governance that started around the year 2000 and reached a high point with the 2015 Global Action Plan (GAP) on AMR.
