Delighted to be given the opportunity to speak at the 4th ministerial meeting on AMR. Where I outlined our research that estimates that there's 28:1 return on investment for treatments to combat resistance.
You can find more info from our report here cgdev.org/sites/default/file…
In a new policy brief @katklemperer, @JavierHGuzmanC and I outline three steps the new EU commission can take to stop AMR
Within the EU, $15bn a year is spent on treating drug resistant infections.
Building on momentum from #UNGA, @katklemperer, @JavierHGuzmanC, & @apmcdonnell offer an idea for how the new EU commission can take a global leadership role in tackling AMR:

Today, the world’s governments meet at the UN General Assembly to discuss a new global declaration on AMR. As I outline in the @FT, whether driven by public health concerns or hard-headed financial decisions, the case for action is undeniable. #UNGA79 ft.com/stream/39dc043d-6f89-…

Why do low- and middle-income countries see fewer #antimicrobial registrations and product introductions than other countries? 💊
@katklemperer, Fatema Rafiqi, & @apmcdonnell dig into this rollout problem:

The BBC says: “Protesters target mosque”. Can you imagine saying “Protesters target synagogue? These are criminals. By platforming Farage, Oakeshott, Tice, Goodwin etc, the BBC normalised the far right. Now it legitimises them as so called “protesters” bbc.com/news/articles/cnl0lk…
We've gone from a Prime Minister who didn't own an umbrella, to the only one who thought to bring a jacket to the #OpeningCeremony

Figures to bear in mind as you vote:
1 million kids in destitution
3.7 million people with "very low food security"
150k kids in temporary accommodation
1.3 million families on social housing waiting lists
7.6 million on NHS waiting lists
Who will bring those numbers down?
