These include a) regulatory hurdles and b) substandard health\nfacilities. For example, out of 21 new antibiotics entering markets between\n1999 and 2014, less than 5 were registered in most countries of Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/li><li>In case of India, the study has noted that the\ncountry has a shortage of an estimated 6 lakh doctors and 2 million nurses. The\nlack of health practioners and staff who are properly trained in administering\nantibiotics is preventing patients from accessing these medicines in India. <\/li><li>The study has further added that even when\nantibiotics are available, patients are often unable to afford them.
