The Global Innovation Model for Antibiotics Needs Reinvention

J Law Med Ethics. 2015 Summer:43 Suppl 3:22-6. doi: 10.1111/jlme.12270.

Abstract

The dangers presented by antibiotic resistance (ABR) have now established themselves as a global health security issue. From an international policy perspective, three key pillars have been established - responsible access, conservation, and innovation. These pillars are intrinsically linked, meaning that any attempt to address one, must take into account the implications for the other two. This article attempts to address all three of these pillars.
