Patients lack timely diagnosis and access to effective antibiotics
#00368
Many patients, especially in resource-limited settings, cannot obtain timely microbiology, susceptibility testing, or the effective antibiotics needed to treat resistant infections.
#00380Expand microbiology and antibiotic susceptibility-testing networks
Build affordable laboratory networks that identify bacterial pathogens and susceptibility patterns quickly enough to guide individual treatment and local resistance policies.
#00381Assure affordable access and reliable supply for appropriate antibiotics
Coordinate registration, procurement, quality assurance, forecasting and supply so patients can obtain effective Access and Reserve antibiotics without promoting uncontrolled use.
