Webinar "Why do we need a pull incentive to push antibiotics onto the market?"
18 April 2024
In our webinar you will find out why we need both pull and push incentives to bring new antimicrobial technologies to patients.
On 18 April, the Swiss Round Table on Antibiotics joined a webinar series hosted by the BEAM Alliance. In our talk, we made the case for why we need both pull and push incentives to bring new antimicrobial technologies to patients.
The webinar was moderated by Kosta Shatrov. The speakers, Rudolf Blankart, Chantal Morel, and Barbara Polek, discussed topics such as:
- The antibiotic challenge: Why is the antibiotics market far less attractive than the markets for other pharmaceuticals?
- "Business as usual" is not an option: If we don’t find a solution to solve the major public health challenge posed by antimicrobial resistance, the costs of non-action will conceivably be enormous.
- Implementation of pull incentives is gaining momentum: England and Sweden have been conducting pilot projects to test revenue guarantee models; other countries are planning to do so.
