Antimicrobial Resistance
Expanding access to antimicrobial products: a global health priorityAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is often referred to as the silent epidemic. It is a global threat to health, food security, and development which requires a One Health approach. The One Health approach recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and the environment are interconnected and that AMR affects all three.
Role of supply chain management in the fight against AMR
In the face of global health threats, strong supply chains are essential to ensure lifesaving products are delivered on time where they are needed most. Effective supply chain management practices, such as pooled procurement, play a vital role in this. By combining specialized supply chain solutions with purchasing power, health programs can access quality antimicrobial products at cost-effective pricing.
