Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global public health, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While excessive antibiotic use is often discussed, the issue of access to antibiotics demands attention. This viewpoint explores the multidimensional nature of the issue of access to antibiotics. We have examined the issue through the lens of social, economic, healthcare structures, manufacturing and supply chain, policy and practices. Inter-relatedness of these issues has also been explored. The review further discusses potential solutions involving but not limited to increased awareness, improvement in healthcare infrastructure, models for sustained manufacturing and supply chains. Additionally, enhancing antimicrobial stewardship at hospital and community levels, empowering healthcare professionals, and emphasizing infection prevention are crucial. Global initiatives that aim to address access challenges, emphasizing collaboration and innovation are important to foster for a sustained response to the issue of antibiotic access.

应对抗生素获取方面的挑战:障碍、影响和解决策略。
抗菌药耐药性(AMR)对全球公共卫生构成重大威胁,对中低收入国家(LMICs)的影响尤为严重。虽然人们经常讨论过度使用抗生素的问题,但获得抗生素的问题也需要关注。这一观点探讨了抗生素获取问题的多面性。我们从社会、经济、医疗保健结构、生产和供应链、政策和实践等角度对这一问题进行了研究。我们还探讨了这些问题之间的相互关联性。审查进一步讨论了潜在的解决方案,包括但不限于提高认识、改善医疗保健基础设施、持续生产和供应链模式。此外,在医院和社区层面加强抗菌药物管理、增强医疗保健专业人员的能力以及强调感染预防也至关重要。旨在应对抗生素获取挑战、强调合作与创新的全球倡议对于促进持续应对抗生素获取问题非常重要。
