“We need good data, we need good surveillance,” said CEO Henry Skinner at the #WorldAMRCongress. “If we are going to develop new antibiotics, new antimicrobials, it takes 10 to 15 years. We need data to both understand the need and the market opportunities in this class.”

What solutions exist for #AMR that could be emulated? “The UK should be applauded for their subscription program. Getting a pull incentive in all of the G7 countries would be a huge benefit to the marketplace,” said John Alter, Head of External Affairs, at the

Day two of the World Antimicrobial Resistance Congress and we are excited for John Alter's upcoming panel on 'Leveraging partnerships for antimicrobial developments' at 11:40 a.m. See you there! #AMR
