Global health: aid and WHO
How this comes up on the day

The words to use

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR): When bacteria and other microbes evolve to survive the drugs meant to kill them, making infections harder or impossible to treat.
Attributable and associated deaths: Attributable deaths would not have happened if the infection had been treatable; associated deaths are all deaths in people with a resistant infection.
Subscription model: Paying a company a fixed annual fee for an antibiotic based on its value, not how much is used, so reserve drugs stay worth making.
Net zero: Cutting emissions as far as possible and balancing the rest. The NHS targets 2040 for emissions it controls and 2045 for those it can influence.
Official development assistance: Government aid spending, measured as a share of gross national income. The UK plans to cut it to 0.3% by 2027.
