Global Penicillin Access Campaign
Workgroup 1 -- WHO Civil Society Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance
Strategic Analyses
This is an interactive global map showing where major penicillin-sensitive conditions and documented benzathine penicillin G shortages overlap, including syphilis, rheumatic heart disease, neonatal sepsis, yaws, and sickle cell disease. It is designed to make the geography of need visually immediate, helping advocates, policymakers, and researchers see where supply insecurity carries the greatest potential health impact.
This is an interactive reference tool that organizes antibiotics by the WHO AWaRe categories—Access, Watch, and Reserve—so users can search and filter by drug class, indication, and stewardship category.
This tells the historical story of how penicillin was scaled through public coordination, open science, and technology transfer, and connects that history to today’s access challenges. It is designed as an advocacy narrative for the 2028 Fleming centenary, arguing that the current supply crisis also requires deliberate public action rather than reliance on market forces alone.
.
This presents a campaign framework for using patient and provider stories as structured evidence in penicillin access advocacy. It explains how storytelling can be organized around accountability targets, political moments, and audience-specific lenses so that stories function not just as testimony, but as strategic tools for change.
This lays out a proposed civil society scorecard for tracking progress on penicillin supply security, including candidate metrics, data sources, visualization options, and a dissemination strategy. It is intended as a practical framework for accountability, helping stakeholders move from broad commitments to measurable indicators and public reporting.
