SECURE will increase access to a portfolio of quality-assured antibiotics in a sustainable, equitable and appropriate way. The antibiotic portfolio will be adapted to national public health and clinical needs and will include both existing antibiotics and new antibiotics, where access has been limited because of affordability, recurrent shortages or other market challenges.

Lack of a strong forecasting model hampers the ability of countries and other procurers to ensure consistent access to priority antibiotics. In addition, a key intervention by SECURE will be to establish and support pooled or coordinated procurement mechanisms with an existing procurement entity for antibiotics by aggregating demand across multiple countries. The creation of an antibiotic forecasting model to support both national or individual buyer planning as well as pooling, stockpiling and contracting with suppliers using a prioritized portfolio of antibiotics is therefore an essential component of the procurement mechanism.
