Many people talk about the 'Golden Age of Antibiotics' but I hadn't seen it visualized properly. How abundant was antibiotic development during that time period? How many types of antibiotics were developed? So I visualized it myself!

Highlight in Vox on our Neonatal Sepsis Project. Between 400k-700k babies die from sepsis each year. It's hard to detect, treatment needs to be swift and while a diagnostic is feasible to develop, one doesn't exist today. Read more below about how we're looking to change that:

In collaboration with Center for Global Development, we’re establishing a working group to design an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for a rapid diagnostic for neonatal sepsis—a devastating and neglected cause of child mortality. Here’s why this is our focus. 🧵👇

Creating a successful advanced market commitment for neonatal sepsis diagnostics takes more than funding. In the final part of series from Center for Global Development & Market Shaping Accelerator (MSA), experts set out how the new working group intends to make the AMC happen: bit.ly/4nkKXzE

Half a million newborn babies die of sepsis every year. Its easily treatable with antibiotics but there is no rapid diagnostic test so doctors are left guessing. Very exciting that CGD is working on a solution!

MSA convened leading experts from economics, clinical care, policy, and industry for the first Center for Global Development NeoTest Working Group meeting. The group will develop market based incentives to accelerate rapid diagnostic innovation for neonatal sepsis in low- and middle-income countries.
