“Target-setting” might seem like a bureaucrat’s answer to the Q of how to unlock progress on a big,complex global issue But targets,and political focus they bring,are a missing piece of the jigsaw for AMR Here’s how the @un can change this in September https://t.co/GEOx7aW05T

The UK general election is next week. From better quality healthcare to a healthier economy, research is always a good investment for governments. That's why we’ve identified how the next UK government can support research and make the most of its strengths. [1/3]

How and why should the world move to a target-driven approach to tackling antimicrobial resistance? 🤔 It’s a timely Q following AMR discussions @un last week and ahead of #WHA77 - so I’m looking forward to moderating this online discussion (and excellent panel) on Thursday 👇🏻
🚀This year's UNGA provides an opportunity to generate political & public support for meaningful global action on #AMR. ⏰Join us on May 23rd for a timely discussion on unifying global targets & the implications for human and animal health. Learn more: https://t.co/0SeBY2PHBZ

A very busy few weeks coming up for efforts to #StopSuperbugs as things start to heat up for #UNGA mtgs in September. Looking forward to joining this discussion on an important Q - how could global targets drive stronger political + practical progress in tackling #AMR?

Today marks a major milestone in the fight against #tuberculosis! This trial is a testament to the impact of sustained investment in global health R&D and collaboration across borders & sectors with our partners at @WellcomeTrust, @GatesMRI, and @GSK.
A phase 3 clinical trial is now underway in South Africa to assess the safety and efficacy of the M72/AS01E tuberculosis (TB) vaccine candidate.
