[Report and Recommendations] “Post G7 Ise-Shima Summit: Reflecting upon Japan’s National Action Plan and Addressing Next Steps for Global Antimicrobial Resistance”Meeting Summary – “Seven Recommendations for Promoting Measures Against AMR”
date : 11/14/2017
Tags: AMR
- Reaffirm the importance of proper and rapid examinations and reporting of results as a measure against AMR, and further promote the adoption of technologies that are already approved for use.
- Government authorities must consider measures to promote microbial testing – considered to be one measure against AMR – such as support for the adoption of rapid medical technology, or valuations necessary for medical reimbursement.
- The government must consider concrete measures for infection control (hospital-acquired infections, community-acquired infections), and evaluate medical facilities on their performance on such measures.
- Speed up the approval of so far non-approved reagents and technological equipment that has already been shown effective against AMR.
2. Provide concrete incentives for R&D
- Recognize the difficulties companies face when trying to predict revenue or hedge investment risks related to AMR-related R&D.
- Develop basic incentive plans in addition to financial support, to create an environment that will facilitate investment into AMR-related R&D and the appropriate use of related drugs after they enter the market.
3. Promote both the cross-sectoral and international integration of examination data
- Promote the cross-sectoral and international integration of data collected during examinations.
- Based on the analysis of such data, raise awareness about proper diagnoses through such activities as the distribution of diagnosis protocols that include information on diagnostic guidelines for infectious diseases.
4. Seek concrete progress in areas of cooperation between academia, government, and industry
- Promote cooperation between academia, government, and industry in fields that are pillars of measures against AMR, such as the promotion of proper detection and diagnoses, surveillance, and R&D.
- Establish, within the area of academia, government, and industry cooperation, such mechanisms that go beyond agenda-setting to concretely address issues related to the harmonizing of regulatory mechanisms and sharing of standardized data.
- Base these efforts on dialogue to promote mutual understanding and trust building.
5. Proceed with the implementation of the Action Plan while taking special care not to bring too many restrictions to bear
- Further implement cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary action plans. In implementing such plans, care should be taken to not overly restrict the use of antimicrobials while pursuing plan objectives.
6. Japan must continue to assume global leadership
- At the same time as Japan works for academia, government, and industry cooperation between itself, the countries of Europe, and the United States, Japan should also display international leadership with regard to outstanding AMR issues in Asia.
7. Promote further awareness-raising activities
- Promote further awareness-raising activities targeting the media and general public to help patients understand the problem themselves and discourage them from seeking antimicrobials when they do not need them.
