Impact on Drug Development
- Companies face challenges due to high costs and regulatory hurdles.
- Investment in biotech drugs and clinical trials is crucial for fighting these pathogens.
Patient Access and Safety
- Many patients lack access to essential medicines due to drug pricing issues.
- Public funding is necessary to support research and development efforts in tackling AMR.
Global Economy and Health
The implications of antimicrobial resistance extend beyond health, significantly impacting the global economy and public health policies.
