This film produced for us by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions highlights how cross-sector partnerships in Sweden are tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) – with Viatris playing a key role. The story features PLATINEA, a national platform working to improve the use and availability of vital antibiotics.

AMR is one of the greatest threats to global health. By 2050, it could claim 10 million lives each year. But in Sweden, the PLATINEA platform is showing what’s possible when science, policy, and industry align.

As a founding partner, Viatris brings its global experience in access to medicines to a uniquely Swedish collaboration. The initiative is dedicated to safeguarding antibiotics through smarter clinical use and supporting supply security by helping health authorities build more sustainable systems.

The film also features Anne Bergman, Medical Affairs Lead at Viatris in Sweden, who shares how antibiotics saved her husband’s life after a kidney transplant. Her personal story brings into focus the human cost of AMR – and the urgency to act.

The PLATINEA model shows what real collaboration can achieve. Viatris is proud to be part of this effort to ensure antibiotics continue to save lives – in Sweden, across Europe, and beyond.
