According to WHO, AMR is the third leading cause of mortality in the world, with over one million deaths directly linked to bacterial AMR, and five million deaths indirectly. It added that 106,000 associated deaths could be stopped by vaccines against pneumococcus pneumonia, haemophilus influenza type B and typhoid.In his comments, WHO Director-General, Tedros Ghebreyesus, emphasised that addressing AMR starts with preventing infections, stating that “vaccines are among the most powerful tools for doing that.”
Every year, WHO noted that vaccines for streptococcus pneumoniae could save 33 million antibiotic doses, “if the Immunisation Agenda 2030 target of 90 per cent of the world’s children were vaccinated, as well as older adults.” They committed to increasing sustainable investments at national, regional and global levels to strengthen national capacities for the AMR response.The document also stated that they will ensure equitable and timely access to antimicrobials, vaccines and diagnostics in developing countries, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
