Rethinking diagnostics in the fight against AMR — from analytical accuracy to real-world clinical utility
In microbiological diagnostics, speed, accuracy and access determine survival. Yet the pathway from discovery to bedside to policy remains fragmented, with weak linkages between analytical validation and real-world performance. Limited contextualisation of diagnostics across diverse clinical settings, alongside persistent affordability barriers, continues to constrain translation of innovation into measurable impact on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Multi-dimensional...

Building pandemic readiness through routine vaccination
Routine immunisation for adults and children is more than a health service — it’s core to our health security, and can determine how fast and effectively countries can respond in a crisis. Later this year, the UN will hold a High-Level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response. This will be a key moment to renew...

Drug resistance is undermining global security
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is turning routine infections into strategic vulnerabilities. As antibiotics fail, healthcare, humanitarian operations and outbreak response all become harder to sustain — especially in fragile and conflict-affected settings. The same forces shaping today’s global insecurity — conflict, climate change and migration — are helping accelerate the spread of AMR. By 2050, the...
