GETF is excited to be providing secretariat services to support the launch of the AMR Access and Stewardship Initiative (AMRASI) led by USAID’s Emerging Threats Division and Center for Innovation and Impact. This groundbreaking initiative, co-led by Elijah Kahn-Woods from CII and Jessica Petrillo from ETD, is assembling a coalition – including industry partners and in-country subject matter experts – to design and implement pilots that test new approaches to both stewardship of and access to antibiotics in low- and middle-income countries.
“Two birds with one stone”: this World AMR Awareness Week, USAID is excited to announce our approach to simultaneously slow the spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) pathogens and address the drivers of excess morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In LMICs, the lack of access to diagnostics and antimicrobials, alongside inadequate infrastructure and incentives to appropriately use these health commodities, perpetuates the AMR crisis and causes needless, preventable deaths.
