Africa: Pharma Companies to Share Data On Antimicrobial Resistance

Globally, an estimated 4.95 million deaths were associated with drug-resistant infections , with 1.27 million of these deaths directly attributable to drug resistance.

Rebecca Li, executive director of Vivli, told SciDev.Net that the register provides centralised access to high-quality industry data that will aid critical decision-making to curb antimicrobial resistance. "Sub-Saharan Africa has some of the least developed AMR surveillance systems in the world," said Karen Bett, policy manager for data equity and inclusion at the UN's Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data.

Bett added that the system will provide a foundation for a better understanding of the spread of antimicrobial resistance, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, which have the least developed surveillance coverage compared with high-income regions such as North America and Europe.
