Through your donation, you are helping the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP) develop lifesaving and life-changing treatments for drug-resistant infections. For every person who needs them. Wherever they live.
Millions of people worldwide contract infections from harmful bacteria and are increasingly dying due to the lack of effective antibiotics, with drug resistance already responsible for more than 1.2 million deaths a year. Without urgent action this number will increase exponentially. Resistant bacteria spread with ease inside and across borders. These bacteria can infect anyone, of any age, but it is the most vulnerable – children, the elderly, people with compromised immune systems and those living in countries with weak health systems – who are hit first and hardest.
Whether you make a one-off contribution or decide to give regularly, your support will be used to drive the development of treatments for the drug-resistant infections that pose the greatest threat, protecting our health now and for generations to come.
Antibiotics transformed our world by making previously incurable illnesses treatable and allowing medical procedures like operations and chemotherapy to be performed safely. Millions of lives have been saved and our well-being radically improved. This remarkable progress is threatened by antibiotic resistance and requires an urgent global response.
Your donation will help GARDP develop new and improved treatments for sexually transmitted infections, sepsis in newborns and infections in hospitalized children and adults.
Thank you for your support.
