Since 2016, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) has been working on the important issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through its work as secretariat of AMR Alliance Japan. AMR Alliance Japan itself serves as secretariate of the Nikkei FT Communicable Diseases Conference Asia Africa Medical Innovation Consortium (AMIC) AMR Consortium, which published policy recommendations on the creation of a pull incentive in Japan in March, “Strengthening AMR Countermeasures to Respond to Health Crises Recommendations to the Japanese Government on Establishing a Pull Incentive System for the Antimicrobial Market: Creating an Ecosystem for Sustainable Antimicrobial Development to Protect the Lives of the Public.”

On July 13, 2021, Nikkan Yakugyo published an article covering these recommendations.
