We know antibiotics in the #environment are a driver for #AMR

One intervention to reduce risk in this sector could be formal regulation to control #antibiotic levels in #manufacturing discharge But how viable are these measures? ๐Ÿงต/1
Antibiotic supply chains are complex & opaque๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ This makes it hard for #policymakers to design and implement effective supply chain regulation that reduces #AMR risk but avoids unintended consequences on medicine affordability and availability /2
A new @Wellcome_AMR report attempts to address these ongoing questions through:
- mapping of antibiotic supply chains ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ
- analysing likely supply chain & economic impact of regulatory options ๐Ÿ’น
- recommending next steps for supply chain sensitive regulatory approaches ๐Ÿค

#AntibioticResistance is a global health threat. As such it requires global collaboration and also action across sectors. However some of the biggest challenges are difficult to address because they are our old structural issues...
The availability of quality diagnostics and the
Availability of well trained human resources for health are KEY for fighting resistance.
Without diagnostics it's very difficult to understand the burden and patterns and we do not cure what we can't see.
And without HRH we can't implement the AMR Pillars.
Therefore....
At least for the human component,
It is to a great extent, an ACCESS to care issue.
We need to invest in health systems and to tackle all access barriers for everyone. Remember when we talk about infectious diseases No one is safe until everyone is safe.
