Five nations and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation launch Advance
Market Commitment for vaccines to combat deadly disease in poor nations
The first global project for the development of vaccines against
endemic diseases known as AMC (Advance Market Commitment for
Vaccines), promoted in the G7 framework to save millions of lives in
the poorest countries and support their economic development with new
methods, was officially launched at the Italian Ministry of Finance
and Economy in Rome on Friday 9 February, in the presence of Queen
Rania of Jordan.
AMC is designed to help speed the development and availability of a
new vaccine which is expected to save the lives of 5.4 million
children by 2030. The AMC pilot represents the first step in a
historic effort to create a market for life-saving vaccines for
children in the world's poorest countries.
