Sepsis, closely tied to #AMR, is responsible for nearly 14 million deaths each year but remains under-prioritized globally. Tomorrow, Deepali Patel will participate in a discussion exploring policies that integrate efforts to address these twin threats, ensuring stronger health systems and better global health outcomes.

Four sessions on #AMR tomorrow at the World Health Summit, with the Fund’s Deepali Patel chairing a discussion on innovation and access. Livestream link 👇
At the World Health Summit, having fantastic discussions as we connect the dots on AMR and global health. Last month’s UN High Level Meeting brought the world’s attention to this crisis, and I’m hopeful we can continue the momentum as commitment turns into action. Looking forward to following the thread of the dialogue through tomorrow’s 4 (!) sessions on AMR! I’ll be chairing the session on the importance of innovation and access in addressing the global threat of AMR, with some amazing speakers: Nour Shamas PharmD, BCIDP, MSc Stefan Hagel, Joel Denis Wolfgang Philipp Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda Tamas Koncz Kevin Outterson Florence Sejourne You can livestream the session on Monday at 2 p.m. CEST here: https://lnkd.in/eS2A-f2N

It is encouraging to see the G7 once again express its support for “tackling market failures of novel antimicrobial R&D, including through innovative market sustainable approaches.” The group specifically noted that it is reinforcing its “commitment to continue to expedite the urgent implementation of effective pull incentives in our regional and domestic markets and health systems.” Urgency is key.

As WHO notes in the report, of the 32 antibiotics under development to address priority pathogens, only 12 can be considered innovative, and just 4 of these 12 are active against at least one WHO ‘Critical’ pathogen. G7 governments should follow the lead of the UK and implement appropriately sized pull incentives to address the broken market.
✔ Antibacterial pipeline facts: Did you know that of the 128 programmes in clinical development for priority pathogens, only 16 have received marketing authorization? To know more read the 2023 WHO Antibacterial Pipeline analysis: https://lnkd.in/dU4Gnxb7 Tamarie Rocke World Health Organization

Melissa Murray regularly ran 10 km a day—until a serious infection caused her to nearly lose a leg. She had an invasive Group A strep (iGAS) bacterial infection that could not be treated with standard antibiotics and suddenly needed round-the-clock care.

ICYMI, the Center for Global Development last week released a new report on the economic consequences of AMR and the findings are staggering. AMR increases the cost of health care by $66 billion. Under certain conditions, AMR health costs could rise to $325 billion and the global economy would be $1.7 trillion smaller in 2050. Learn more and download the full report: https://lnkd.in/eMkHcaWc

As antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) advocates and stakeholders from around the world start departing the United Nations, I’m feeling more energized and optimistic than ever that the world is waking up to - and taking action on - AMR. A few (among many) highlights from the UN High-level Meeting and week of activities include robust global support for the political declaration, the European Union’s commitment of 2.5 million Euros to support an independent panel on evidence for action against AMR, and approaching this from a One Health perspective (human, animal, plant and environment). It is imperative that we build on the momentum of this week to drive policymakers forward, particularly in G7 countries. Access and innovation are key to the fight against AMR but without appropriately-sized pull incentives, innovation will continue to falter, and we will only fall further behind on AMR.

Pleased to be back at the United Nations today for the High-Level Meeting in Antimicrobial Resistance after attending yesterday’s meeting at the UN on Fostering an Equitable Global Response to AMR, each supporting urgent action, such as that outlined in the UN Political Declaration of the High-level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance, to address the growing impact of AMR. The erosion of the effectiveness of antibiotics over the last decades and inadequate efforts to maintain their potency is a global threat to every individual, but especially the most vulnerable in society. We can collectively address this growing crisis IF we have the will.

A third of a million people pass through Times Square every day - more on busy days (which probably includes this week!). Amazing job by the Fleming Initiative to get this short and compelling message in front of so many eyes. I actually think so many of us stopping to take notice (and photos and videos) has also drawn attention - so if you are in NYC but haven’t yet seen it, go take a look. And please indulge me with the extra touch of pop culture (turn on your audio!)! (Song copyright: whomever owns Jackson Browne’s music)
