More antibiotics need to be developed for children: health experts


- 23 lakh newborns die due to severe bacterial infections

- Experts demand to prevent infection in newborns

- Need more antibiotics to protect the newborn

New Delhi, Dated 30 December 2022, Friday

There is an urgent need to develop more antibiotics to protect newborns from infection. Because, they are most susceptible to antibiotic resistance. Demanding to stop the infection in newborns, health experts around the world say that all major countries of the world should work together in this matter. Recently, the World Health Organization informed that about 2.3 lakh newborns die every year due to serious bacterial infections in the world. Over the past decade, antimicrobial resistance has worsened to the point where the availability of about 50–70% of common pathogens has reduced the effectiveness of antibiotics. The study cited by the WHO was prepared by experts from the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi.

These researchers believe that, despite significant advances in medical research and a significant reduction in the number of children under five, many problems related to child health, including serious bacterial infections, remain to be solved. Mike Sharland, of St George's University of London, said the best and safest effect in children. There is an urgent need to identify high-priority antibiotics to understand that. Then make them available. At the same time, Manika Balasegaram, executive director of the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership, said, by achieving global consensus, we can streamline the antibiotic development process. May also protect the neonatal population by allowing rapid access to antibiotics. Experts discussed the medical conditions of 3,200 newborns admitted to 19 hospitals in 11 countries during the study. It also said that clinical trials are going to start in South Africa in the coming years. There are few antibiotics to treat serious infections such as sepsis in newborns, and clinical studies on them are limited, they say. A total of 40 antibiotics have been included in the treatment since the year 2000. Only four of them are being given to newborns.
