In other words, change how pharmaceutical companies are rewarded for innovation. Do this, it was claimed, and big pharma, which has largely left the space in droves for pastures more prosperous, would come back into the fold. It’s been a slow grind to get governments to take action but now, as the reality of a post-antibiotic era looms, countries have started to commit themselves to exploring the options.
