Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark 2018 First independent assessment of pharmaceutical company action on AMR Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark 2018 Access to Medicine Foundation Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark 2018 ACCESS TO MEDICINE FOUNDATION January 2018 1 Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark 2018 ACCESS TO MEDICINE FOUNDATION The Access to Medicine Foundation is an independent non-profit organisation based in the Netherlands. It aims to advance access to medicine in low- and middle-income countries by stimulating and guiding the pharmaceutical industry to play a greater role in improving access to medicine. For 10 years, the Foundation has been building consensus on the role for the pharmaceutical industry in improving access to medicine and vaccines. It publishes the Access to Medicine Index every two years, with the next Index due in late 2018. In 2017, the Foundation published the first Access to Vaccines Index. This is the first Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The 2018 Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark has been made possible through collaboration with experts and specialists working across the spectrum of organisations working to curb antimicrobial resistance.1 The Foundation is grateful for their time and expertise, and would like to thank them for providing valuable insights throughout the development of this research and its methodology.

  • Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis
    2019 GONORRHEA, CHLAMYDIA, AND SYPHILIS AND CHLAMYDIA, GONORRHEA, Dedication TAG would like to thank the National Coalition of STD Directors for funding and input on the report. THE PIPELINE REPORT Pipeline for Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Syphilis By Jeremiah Johnson Introduction The current toolbox for addressing gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis is inadequate. At a time where all three epidemics are dramatically expanding in locations all around the globe, including record-breaking rates of new infections in the United States, stakeholders must make do with old tools, inadequate systems for addressing sexual health, and a sparse research pipeline of new treatment, prevention, and diagnostic options. Lack of investment in sexual health research has left the field with inadequate prevention options, and limited access to infrastructure for testing and treatment have allowed sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to flourish. The consequences of this underinvestment are large: according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2012 there were an estimated 357 million new infections (roughly 1 million per day) of the four curable STIs: gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and trichomoniasis.1 In the United States, the three reportable STIs that are the focus of this report—gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis—are growing at record paces. In 2017, a total of 30,644 cases of primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis—the most infectious stages of the disease—were reported in the United States. Since reaching a historic low in 2000 and 2001, the rate of P&S syphilis has increased almost every year, increasing 10.5% during 2016–2017. Also in 2017, 555,608 cases of gonorrhea were reported to the U.S.
