A deal is being struck to make them freely available to patients in England at an affordable cost to the NHS.
Two new medications which fight drug-resistant superbugs could soon become available to NHS patients in England.
These 'last line of defence' drugs will tackle severe infections which cannot be cleared by other treatments. The subscription-style payment model is part of the government's strategy to incentivise companies to make essential drugs such as these, alongside the so-called blockbuster drugs which typically make huge profits for pharmaceutical giants.
Without effective drugs to address superbugs, routine surgery - such as hip replacements - will become too dangerous to perform, for example.
