A whopping $200M will be expended this year on the procurement of antibiotics for the public health sector,David Wright Mets Jersey, according to Minister of Health, Dr Leslie Ramsammy, in wake of the challenge being created by the resistance to some existing antibiotics.He revealed that over the last 10 years there was an average of 20 new antibiotics that were released annually, an amount that has since reduced to a mere two.“The new antibiotic pipeline is drying up and it is incumbent on us – it is an imperative, not an option – that we preserve what we have…”This year alone, some 20 million doses of medicines will be used in the health sector,Baltimore Orioles Adam Jones Jersey, leaving out those prescribed for HIV, TB and malaria,Jakub Kindl Red Wings Jersey, representing some 55,000 doses per day, according to the Minister.“We have to, because it will protect lives. If we don’t have access to these affordable medicines…we will have to spend between five and 100 times what we are already spending…”The Minister stressed that earnest efforts are being directed to addressing the resistance problem which is often caused by the misuse of antibiotics.“This is truly a genuine problem that has not occupied a big enough space on the global health agenda,”Dr. Ramsammy said.As part of its support to address this problem, the Ministry of Health with the support of the Pan American Health Organization launched a ‘Be wise about antibiotics’ campaign as part of the observance of World Health Day yesterday.

Guyana has implemented an EML that goes beyond the minimum list that the WHO has recommended.”Guyana’s EML, Dr. Ramsammy explained, contains more than 500 medicines that the government has committed to providing all of the time.“We have not achieved yet the capacity to ensure a smooth, flawless provision of all of these medicines and we do experience shortages at times, but in the 1980s, most of these medicines were never available and today they are available almost all of the time…”
