As drug-resistant pathogens are making many existing #antibiotics ineffective, how can we introduce new antibiotics in India responsibly?

Despite the greater risk of antimicrobial resistance in low- and middle-income countries, experts say the focus of international agreements so far has been centered around the needs of high-income countries. https://t.co/MumjoFTp8v

Tomorrow, world leaders meet at the UN High level meeting #UNHLM on antimicrobial resistance to agree on a political declaration committing to respond to #AMR.
We urge them to take swift, bold action to translate this declaration into meaningful progress🧵

The high costs of new antibiotics (up to 20-fold more expensive than older alternatives) for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, MDR P. aeruginosa, and A. baumannii a significant barrier to accessibility in low-resource settings. #AMR #MSF https://t.co/eHHUvjkxBl

“[...] the #AMR HLM cannot be merely another forum for discussion. It must instead be a platform for commitment & accountability, where countries & global health actors take concrete steps on AMR.”

In our latest blog, Dr Jane Cunningham takes a close look at the importance of diagnostic testing in tackling #AntimicrobialResistance. W/ the UN High-Level Mtg on #AMR in Sep, we urge that people most impacted by AMR be at the centre of any solutions.

Ahead of the #UNHLM on #AMR, we call on govts to:

1. 🎯 Prioritise universal access to effective diagnostics & drugs. R&D of new antibiotics must target the most urgent global public health needs & have conditions making them affordable & accessible to all.

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

#AMR is a global concern & tackling it requires extensive collaboration & strong commitments.

As part of the prep for the #UNHLM on AMR in Sep, MSF’s Rep to the UN, Tara Newell, delivered the following statement with our recommendations.

Thank you all for the fantastic engagement and support 💪@EC_HERA @gardp_amr @MSF @gatesfoundation @FlemingFund @ICARS_global @CHAI_health @UNITAID @MedsforMalaria @USAID

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

We're pleased to host the #H20Summit at @WHO this year again.

I shared three priorities for our shared vision of #HealthForAll:
1) Continued political commitment at the highest level for global health;
2) Engagement with platforms, such as the @G20Partnership, that bring sectors together to discuss and share ideas and experiences on global health;
3) Sustainable financing for WHO.

My thanks to @hatice_beton and @AlanDonnelly57 for their leadership.

At #WHA77 we raised the issue of evidence asymmetry on #AMR between high-income and low-resource contexts➡️any independent evidence platform must engage CSOs and affected communities to address the needs of those most impacted by AMR and least equipped with relevant data #UN #HLM

[MSF Access @MSF_access]

At the 77th World Health Assembly this week, we’re calling for better access to health products for all people & improved pandemic prevention, preparedness & response.

2️⃣ Ahead of the UN High-Level Mtg #UNHLM on #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR in Sep, govts must:

a. Make access to person-centred health care more equitable
b. Ensure AMR action plans prioritise low- & middle- income countries
c. Make AMR-related medical products accessible for all

We call on govts for 1. governance & financing mechanism to tackle #AMR in LMICs; 2. access to drugs, tests & vax by ⬆️ manufacturing, pooled procurement & R&D funding access conditions; 3. infection prevention, antimicrobial stewardship & lab capacity.
