Written Question
Antimicrobials: Drug Resistance
Tuesday 18th June 2019

Asked by: Baroness Jolly (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of how the forthcoming replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria could contribute to delivering on the UK's five-year national action plan on tackling antimicrobial resistance 2019–2024.

Answered by Baroness Sugg

A successful Sixth Replenishment of the Global Fund will be vital in addressing the spread of antimicrobial resistance, a growing health threat. The Global Fund works to roll out new antimicrobials and diagnostic tools, helping to treat 102,000 people for drug-resistant tuberculosis in 2017. It also reduces the need for antimicrobials by: supporting and strengthening health systems; preventing infection, for example by helping to distribute 197 million bed nets in 2017 to prevent malaria; and by supporting prompt diagnosis and treatment of disease.
