Antimicrobial stewardship and better hospital hygiene may slow the increase in antimicrobial resistance. The ECDC estimates that the Investment 1.5 Euros per capita per year in a comprehensive package of mixed public health interventions would avoid about 27 000 deaths per year in EU/EEA countries. In addition to saving lives, such a public health package could pay for itself within just one year and end up saving about 1.4 billion Euros per year in EU/EEA countries.
