Take over pharma to create new medicines, says top adviser

Take over pharma to create new medicines, says top adviser Part of the drugs industry should be taken over to make new antibiotics, an influential economist has argued.

Lord Jim O'Neill, who advised the government on antibiotic resistance, said he was shocked by pharmaceutical companies failing to tackle drug-resistant infections.

He said the solution may be to "just take it away from them and take it over".

The pharmaceutical industry said it was not standing still on the issue. BBC News
