AMR Discussion webinar, broadcast on 27 February 2024:
This webinar discusses potential solutions, including support for non-profit R&D organizations, to get new treatments to patients in the scenario of inadequate investment in industry R&D i.e., few or no additional ‘pull’ investments, or ‘pull incentives’ that do not meet industry expectations as to the size of the reward.

It examines the benefits and drawbacks of other solutions to pay for antibiotic R&D, how governments can collaborate to sustain such approaches, and the role of these potential solutions in the long term.
