In addition to providing money for efforts to develop new drugs, the fund should encourage research into diagnostic tools, surveillance methods, techniques to slow the development of resistance, and social and economic studies of consumer behavior.
And, finally, we need to develop new treatments that use alternative doses and combinations of existing drugs.
The World Health Organization has developed a strategy to fight TB’s return, including a standardized therapy that specifies appropriate drugs, doses, and timing of therapy.
Although some characteristics of TB therapy, such as interruption of treatment, are well known predictors of multi-drug resistance, other aspects of treatment that reflect the health-care system, such as the drugs used and the length of therapy, must be studied to help improve control programmes.
Known as “biopharming,” the great promise of this technology emerged about 15 years ago, with clinical trials of vaccines and drugs produced in bananas, tomatoes, and tobacco.
The ostensible objective of the regulation is to avoid contaminating food supplies with drugs, especially when edible crops are used to produce them.
In fact, even if biopharmed plants were to contaminate food crops, the likelihood that consumers would end up with harmful amounts of prescription drugs in their corn flakes, pasta, or tofu is very small.
The active agent would then need to survive milling and other processing, and then cooking, and it would need to be orally active, which protein drugs most often are not, because they are digested in the stomach.
Duterte’s Reign of TerrorNEW YORK – Since Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte took office in late June and declared a “war on drugs,” more than 1,900 people have been killed – 756 by police officers and another 1,160 by “vigilantes,” according to police reports as of August 24.
More recently, in 2003, then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand conducted his own war on drugs.
About 2,800 people were arbitrarily killed, and a subsequent official investigation found that more than half of them had no involvement with drugs.
Providing far too little analysis and oversight, they distribute opiates widely, alongside misinformation about how addictive the drugs truly are.
In the decade since, the distribution of opioid drugs has expanded substantially, driving a rapid increase in addiction and death rates.
A closer look at those at the top reveals a disproportionate role for rent-seeking: some have obtained their wealth by exercising monopoly power; others are CEOs who have taken advantage of deficiencies in corporate governance to extract for themselves an excessive share of corporate earnings; and still others have used political connections to benefit from government munificence – either excessively high prices for what the government buys (drugs), or excessively low prices for what the government sells (mineral rights).
Drugs are also being seized in international waters off the Gulf of Guinea.
The police chief refuses, and is so incorruptible that he sleeps beside the drugs to prevent the multi-million-dollar evidence from disappearing.
Similarly, the term “cyber war” is used loosely to cover a wide range of behaviors, reflecting dictionary definitions of war that range from armed conflict to any hostile contest (for example, “war between the sexes” or “war on drugs”).
Managing greenhouse-gas emissions and global flows of drugs, arms, terrorists, and pathogens would be no easy task under the best of circumstances; it is made more difficult by a lack of consensus on what to do and a lack of will to act even when agreement exists.
So "incrementalism"--a small fix here and there--became the basic strategy of health-care reform, leading, for example, to programs to provide care for poor children and a current proposal to help the needy pay for drugs.
When people recklessly use antibiotics to fight a common cold, when farmers use antibiotics to boost livestock productivity, or when pharmacological factories emit antibiotics into the environment to cut production costs, the bacteria that the drugs are designed to kill become immune.
To be sure, there are solutions to the drug resistance crisis: restricted consumption, better diagnostics and disease surveillance, and expanded clinical development of new drugs are three.

Efforts to address the problem have focused on how the target was selected, the candidate drugs’ efficacy in humans, the risk of undesirable side effects, and the efficiency of the discovery process – all to little or no avail.
The July issue of Nature Reviews Drug Discovery analyzed how first-in-class medicines – those drugs that successfully established a new class of medicines – were discovered.
Despite the emphasis on target-based drug discovery, phenotypic screening produced the lion’s share of the first-in-class small-molecule medicines approved between 1999 and 2008 – 28 phenotypic medicines versus 17 target-based drugs.
The Nature Reviews article proposed that lower productivity partly reflects target-based discovery’s lack of consideration of the molecular complexities of how the drugs work.
