The AMR Industry Alliance is thrilled to announce Social Service League M.P. Shah Hospital as the winner of its 2024 Stewardship Prize. The team at M.P. Shah Hospital is developing, implementing, and evaluating a standardized Antibiotic Timeout Tool (ATT) to facilitate more consistent and effective antibiotic timeout reviews across the hospital. The ATT will mandate a structured review of antibiotic use both at initiation and after 72 hours of therapy, focusing on aligning ongoing treatment with clinical and #diagnostic data. In case you missed it, check out the #WAAW24 webinar for the official announcement and Dr. Hussein Bagha. FRCP (Edin), Dr. Peter Njenga, and Dr. Mohamed Majid of M.P. Shah Hospital accepting the prize and presenting their work. https://lnkd.in/ekmprygb Keep an eye out for more to come on this exciting project! Congratulations Social Service League M. P. Shah Hospital!

The AMR Industry Alliance was pleased to join the International Masterclass on AMR 2024. Steve Brooks, the Alliance's Manufacturing Working Group Chair, as well as BSI's Joe Muratore and Lisa Lowe, discussed the ways in which the Alliance's manufacturing standard and BSI's certification help antimicrobial producers mitigate their impact on #AMR in the environment.

AMRIA Chair James Anderson addressed the United Nations today during the High-level Meeting on #AMR as part of the panel "Addressing human health, animal health and welfare, agrifood systems, and protecting the environment to tackle antimicrobial resistance, through integrated surveillance, capacity-building, sustainable resources, financing, and investment." James addressed the need for action, particularly the adoption of responsible manufacturing standards (such as AMRIA's Antibiotic Manufacturing Standard and BSI's certification program), the transformation of the market with new incentives, actionable steps to ensure equitable access, and improving appropriate use of antimicrobials.

I am proud to be part of the High-level Meeting on #antimicrobialresistance at the United Nations (#UNGA) today. The chair of the AMR Industry Alliance, James Anderson, will speak on the second panel today and adress the priorities the Alliance has been advocating for this past year. You can watch today’s High-Level Meeting on AMR here: https://lnkd.in/eeTSnvT7 The latest data reveals that antimicrobial-resistant deaths will increase by nearly 70% in the coming years, surpassing #HIV/#AIDS and #malaria deaths, and soon responsible for as many deaths as #cancer worldwide. If we do not curb #AMR, current #antimicrobials will become ineffective against #infections, and we will turn back the clock on modern medicine as we know it. From the perspective of the Alliance, continued efforts are needed in four areas, and we will continue to call on Member States and other stakeholders to: Transform the market for antimicrobials with new incentives that encourage companies, investors, and researchers to pursue ongoing antimicrobial innovation and market launch to help alleviate the concerns recognized in the Political Declaration that the research and development pipeline is insufficient and that researchers are leaving, resulting in a loss of vital talent in the fight against AMR. Take actionable steps to ensure equitable access to antimicrobials worldwide by removing barriers to registration, accelerating approvals, improving forecasting through better data collection and surveillance, and reforming antimicrobial procurement practices. Improve the appropriate use of antimicrobials by utilizing diagnostic tests and implementing #stewardship programs, prioritizing investments in laboratory infrastructure, improving the valuation of diagnostics based on their short- and long-term value, and expanding surveillance of AMR at the local, national, and global levels. Adopt the Alliance’s Antibiotic Manufacturing Standard as part of their tendering and reimbursement policies to incentivize antibiotic manufacturers and suppliers to be independently certified per the standard through third-party certification. Independent certification is effective because it raises manufacturing standards worldwide without waiting for individual countries to change environmental regulations.
