Tags: AMR, HGPI Seminar
Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) holds HGPI Salons, which are in-person study sessions for individual supporting members and those interested in health policy from various fields. This upcoming HGPI Salon will feature Yann Ferrisse, Director of Business Development & Partner Engagement, GARDP (Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership).
GARDP is a not-for-profit global health organization driven to protect people from the rise and spread of drug-resistant infections, one of the biggest global health threats. It was set up by the World Health Organization and DNDi in 2016. Since 2019, the Government of Japan has provided GARDP with financial support as a contribution to global health initiatives.
Through its cost-effective partnership model, GARDP develops appropriate antibiotic treatments to be made available to the people who need them, in particular those in low- and middle-income countries. The heart of GARDP’s work are partnerships that go beyond the conventional boundaries of industry, government, and academia.
At this HGPI Salon, we will discuss the paths and difficulties in building effective global partnerships based on extensive experience in establishing numerous global collaborations. We will introduce various initiatives, including examples of collaborations with companies, efforts to promote technology transfer of antimicrobial agents, challenges in multi-stakeholder cooperation, and types of partnerships necessary for healthcare policies, including infectious disease control. We aim to provide an opportunity to deepen understanding of how partnerships should be built in Japan and around the world in the future.
* For individual supporting members only, links to this HGPI Salon’s materials and video recordings will be shared at a later date.
