00:0035,000 deaths caused each year in Europe, about 12,000 only in Italy and the antibiotic

00:10resistance is the theme at the center of the conclusive G7 health event in Bari, a two-day

00:15event dedicated to what the Ministry of Health identified as one of its priorities in the

00:19agenda of the Italian presidency of the G7.

00:21The first day saw preliminarily the confrontations between the medical-scientific community,

00:26medical institutions and the pharmaceutical industry, the first subjects involved in the

00:29issue.

00:30To explain what has already been done by the institutions in Italy, instead, the Undersecretary

00:35of Health, Marcello Gemmato, has thought about it.

00:36On the one hand, in fact, the use of antibiotics in the zootechnical line, which represents

00:41about 50% of the problem, is in a sensitive reduction thanks to the tracking of the

00:46medicines allowed by the electronic recipe.

00:48On the other hand, the government is allocating important resources to strategies aimed at

00:52encouraging good practices.

00:54The government has already, in the triennial plan of contrast to the antibiotic resistance,

00:58invested 40 million euros a year, therefore a structural investment, to combat the antibiotic

01:04resistance.

01:05In addition, Minister Giorgetti and Minister Schillaci in Ancona have announced the investment

01:12of 21 million euros in the so-called PUSH mechanism, that is, sustainability in investment

01:18and research.

01:19The government, in law of balance, has invested 100 million euros for the so-called antibiotic

01:26reserves, that is, antibiotics used to cure the pathologies for which there is no alternative

01:31therapy currently.

01:32The role of the institutions will therefore be fundamental.

01:35It is no coincidence that one of the in-depth studies has been dedicated to the policies

01:38to be put into perspective after the appointments of the G7.

01:41There is the awareness of an extraordinary emergency that can cause millions of deaths

01:47in the future.

01:48The road that goes through the government is the right one, a global approach that includes

01:53a strategy that is coordinated with all the countries of Europe, and in particular are

01:59campaigns of awareness, but also investments in research.
