We are pleased to hear today's announcement from Department of Health and Social Care & GSK of £130m to tackle growing #AntimicrobialResistance .
Rather than developing new antibiotics, the funding will improve access to existing drugs and ensure they are used more effectively.

🙌 Good news! TAK-003 is the second #dengue vaccine prequalified by World Health Organization (WHO).
It is estimated that dengue will cause 40,000 deaths this year, double those seen in 2000. A new vaccine is a much needed addition to the suite of prevention methods.

Every year, 1.2 million people die of drug-resistant infections. We must reduce use of #antibiotics , strengthen surveillance, and support development of new drugs to mitigate this global health challenge.

Thank you David Cameron and Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP for leading Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to support access to medicines through MedAccess. With capital from British International Investment this funding will translate directly into affordable treatments for malaria, HIV, and TB
🦟 Back in 2021, the RTS,S #malaria vaccine faced a halt in manufacturing. An agreement between MedAccess, @Gavi & GSK paved the way for continued production.
Since then, over 2M children have been vaccinated.
