"In an increasingly interconnected world, drug resistance does not stop at a patient’s bedside—it threatens global health. It has slowed gains against the fatal ravages of childhood dysentery and pneumonia, drastically increased the costs of fighting tuberculosis and malaria, and imperiled efforts to effectively treat people living with HIV/AIDS. Tens of millions of lives are at stake; quality of life for scores of millions more is under threat."
Rachel Nugent is the deputy director of global health at the Center for Global Development. Emma Back, Technical Advisor to the CGD Drug Resistance
Working Group, is a freelance consultant based in New York. Alexandra Beith is an independent consultant.
