The EU-JAMRAI project is the European Union Joint Action on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Healthcare- Associated Infections (HCAIs). EU-JAMRAI is a partnership of 44 partners and over 40 stakeholders, and their mission is to foster synergies across all members using a One Health approach to influence policy to tackle Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-Associated Infections.
