📚 Today's #MondayRead dives into the economic burden of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) and why urgent global action is needed.   The Center for Global Development has published a comprehensive report drawing on health data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and peer-reviewed by The World Bank.   📊 Key findings from the report:    1️⃣ The impact of AMR disproportionately affects Low- and Lower-Middle-Income Countries. The world currently spends an estimated $66 billion annually treating people with a drug-resistant infection—if resistance is allowed to increase unimpeded, this amount will rise to $159 billion in 2050. 2️⃣ If resistance trends worsen, global health costs could rise to $325 billion, shrinking the world economy by $1.7 trillion by 2050. 3️⃣ However, if we act now by ensuring high-quality treatment and investing in innovative antibiotics, by 2050: 🔹 Health costs could be $97 billion lower. 🔹 The global economy could grow by $990 billion. 🔹 Generated health benefits could be worth $680 billion. 4️⃣ The cost of improving access and innovation is estimated at $63 billion per year—yielding a return on investment of 28:1!   👉 You can find the full report here: https://bit.ly/3zEyIdl Anthony McDonnell Amanda (Leister) Countryman Tim Laurence Sophie Gulliver Tom Drake Suzanne Edwards ,Charles Kenny Olimpia Lamberti Alec Morton Asti Shafira Robert Smith Javier Guzman   #HealthEconomics #GlobalHealth

🚫 Myth: ORS can be made instantly at home, and it is the same as the medicinal one. ✅ Fact: While you can make electrolyte water at home by mixing salt and sugar, it is not as effective as WHO-recommended ORS, which has specific proportions of essential minerals.

The Silent Pandemic We Can't Ignore: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats to global health today. It's not just a future problem—it's a crisis unfolding right now. If we don't act, AMR could result in 10 million deaths annually by 2050, outpacing the mortality rates of cancer. In a world increasingly interconnected, AMR doesn't just jeopardize human health. It threatens our environment, our food systems, and the very economies we depend on. The economic fallout could be catastrophic, with global GDP losses projected at $85 trillion by 2050. This isn't just a health issue; it's a global commons problem demanding urgent, coordinated action across sectors. This latest WHO Council Insight highlights the need for innovative financial strategies to support National Action Plans (NAPs) on AMR. Key recommendations include: ↳ Long-term Financing: Prioritize AMR in national budgets, focusing on the long-term benefits rather than short-term costs. ↳ Global Funding: Engage international financial institutions to provide catalytic and sustainable funding for AMR initiatives. ↳ Outcome-based Budgeting: Align budgets with AMR outcomes to ensure efficient resource allocation across sectors. AMR is not an isolated issue— it’s a shared global responsibility. Let’s keep the conversation on how we can contribute to a healthier, more resilient world. 🔗 [Dive in for more insights and recommendations] #GlobalHealth #AMR #PublicHealth #SustainableDevelopment

In 2022, antimicrobial resistance caused 1.15 million human deaths. With no urgent action, human health care costs from #AntimicrobialResistance could rise by $159 billion per year globally. However, investments in drug innovation and health care improvements can reduce these costs by $97 billion.
