The links between corruption, sub-standard and falsified drugs and their role in driving antimicrobial resistance (AMR) – associated with 4.95 million deaths globally – are largely ignored in international efforts to address AMR.
With the World Health Organisation estimating that 1 in 10 medical products in low- and middle-income countries are substandard or falsified, the impact on lives is huge. Take Malaria as just one example. More than 100,000 people die annually due to falsified antimalarial drugs alone.
Join us online on Tuesday 21 November, 14:30-15:30 GMT as Transparency International Global Health and our expert panel explore the links between corruption, sub-standard and falsified medicines and how they contribute to AMR. This webinar will outline solutions and technical expertise to help strengthen supply chains and health action plans at a global, regional and country-level to address sub-standard and falsified drugs that contribute to AMR.
