FOREWORD BY JIM O'NEILL. When I was asked to chair the Review on Antimicrobial As with all forecasts of this sort, it is of course possible that Resistance (AMR), I was told that AMR was one of the our estimates may turn out to be too large, but we believe it biggest health threats that mankind faces now and in the is even more likely that they could be too small.

5 This is because coming decades. My initial response was to ask, Why should an we did not even consider the secondary effects of antibiotics economist lead this? Why not a health economist?' The answer losing their effectiveness, such as the risks in carrying out was that many of the urgent problems are economic, so we caesarean sections, hip replacements, or gut surgery. And in the need an economist, especially one versed in macro-economic short 19 months since we started, new forms of resistance have issues and the world economy, to create the solutions. emerged that we did not contemplate occurring so soon, such as the highly disturbing discovery of transferable colistin resistance, I have very much kept this in mind ever since that first reported in late 2015. conversation and it has framed my team's approach. Since setting out the scale of the problem if we do not act, It is now clear to me, as it has been to scientific experts for a we have been making recommendations on how we can avoid long time, that TACKLING AMR is absolutely essential.

6 It needs to such a terrible scenario. Whatever the exact number, which of be seen as the economic and security threat that it is, and be at course we hope will never become a reality, the 100 trillion USD. the forefront of the minds of heads of state, finance ministers, cost of inaction means that our recommended interventions agriculture ministers, and of course health ministers, for years are extremely good value for money on a relative basis. to come. There has already been some exciting progress since we As has now become widely cited, our very first paper outlined began to set out our proposed solutions. In February 2015, we a world in 2050 where AMR is the devastating problem it recommended that a dramatic boost in surveillance was needed threatens to become unless we find solutions. I deliberately to track resistance, especially in the emerging world. We are very chose 2050 as it is the same timeframe associated with the pleased in this regard, that the UK government has initiated so called BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) inspired world the Fleming Fund to improve disease surveillance focused on that I became well-known for.

7 We employed two consultancy DRUG-RESISTANT INFECTIONS in low and middle-income countries, teams, KPMG and Rand, to undertake detailed scenario analyses, and has contributed 375 million USD to it. This work is incredibly which provided the basis for our conclusions. As is now quite important for TACKLING AMR and it must go hand in hand with well known, we suggested that without policies to stop the the recent impetus to achieve truly effective global disease worrying spread of AMR, today's already large 700,000 deaths surveillance and to make sure that health systems are better every year would become an extremely disturbing 10 million prepared for epidemics. every year, more people than currently die from cancer. Indeed, even at the current rates, it is fair to assume that over one We also recommended that more research funding is needed million people will have died from AMR since I started this for AMR to kick-start early research into new antimicrobials Review in the summer of 2014.

8 This is truly shocking. As well and diagnostics. We are delighted that the UK and Chinese as these tragic human costs, AMR also has a very real economic governments have each already agreed to contribute 50 million cost, which will continue to grow if resistance is not tackled. The GBP (72 million USD) to a new Global Innovation Fund. This Fund cost in terms of lost global production between now and 2050 will need to grow internationally and partner with other existing would be an enormous 100 trillion USD if we do not take action. sources of funding for AMR, to fill the gaps left by traditional funding streams and make sure existing and new funding streams are well coordinated for the benefit of researchers . everywhere in the world. Indeed, even at the current rates, it is fair to assume that over one million people will have It is greatly rewarding that many of our recommendations are already being taken forward, even before we published died from AMR since I started this Review in this, our final report.

9 But so much more remains to be done . the summer of 2014. over the rest of this year and the following years. We need to ensure that the appropriate global bodies are involved in reaching policy agreements, and I have spent considerable 2. time focusing on this over the last two years. Given my own first entered common use in the 1950s. When a test is used to background and the nature of the AMR challenge, it was obvious confirm the diagnosis it is often based on a slow technology that that the G20 Leaders as well as their Finance Ministers would hasn't changed significantly since the 1860s. I can understand need to play a central role, and we are pleased that the pieces why this is the situation: there aren't enough good and rapid are in place for successful progress. It is a historic opportunity tests to confirm the professional judgment of the doctor, and for global governance that China is hosting the G20 in 2016 the tests that are available are often more expensive than for the first time; it is in China's power to lead the world in prescribing the drugs just in case'.

10 Yet this is not acceptable: TACKLING the AMR problem meaningfully and GLOBALLY from we need to encourage more innovation and, importantly, must their presidency onwards. ensure that useful products are used. I call on the governments of the richest countries to mandate now that by 2020, all Four interventions are going to be particularly important, out of antibiotic prescriptions will need to be informed by up-to-date the 10-point plan for TACKLING AMR set out in our final report. surveillance information and a rapid diagnostic test wherever one exists. This will open the door to investment and innovation, First, we need a global public awareness campaign to educate by showing clever developers that if they build rapid tests they all of us about the problem of drug resistance, and in particular will find a market for them. Once the technology has improved, children and teenagers.
