Lessons Learnt - Sustainability of the supply of reagents and consumables

Le résumé fourni par la source

The Fleming Fund is a UK Department of Health and SocialCare (DHSC) initiative that supports up to 25 low- and middleincome countries (LMICs) to strengthen national surveillance systems for antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Since 2017, the Fleming Fund has addressed the lack of quality-assured data for use in policy and clinical practice, taking a systems approach to invest in laboratory upgrades, human resource capacity strengthening, data production and data use, policy and governance. This provides not only surveillance data, but also important diagnostic services in both human and animal health. A key issue is how these surveillance and diagnostic systems can be sustained after the Fleming Fund ends. One critical component of sustainability for both the human and animal health sectors is the supply of laboratory consumables and reagents. These items represent a significant recurrent cost and are at risk of stock out, meaning the surveillance systems and diagnostic services are easily disrupted.
