Antimicrobial Resistance
What need to be done ?
´  Improve AMR monitoring and surveillance
´  Enforce regulation
´  Quality production of antimicrobial products
´  Quality surveillance
´  Controlled distribution

´  Quality use of antimicrobials
´  Antimicrobials usage surveillance
´  Antibiotic policy as part of national medicines policy
´  Advocacy and information for providers and consumers

´  One Health approach - Use of antimicrobials in veterinary and agriculture

Antimicrobial resistance
What have been done at global, regional and
national levels?
´  Global & regional levels
´  Intercountry consultation at regional and global level
´  Inter-partners consultation – donors, industries, non governmental institutions, academic institutions.
´  WHO Global Strategy for Containment of Antimicrobial Resistance, 2001
´  WHO Global Action on Antimicrobial Resistance 2015

´  National level
´  National training & workshop on AMR
´  National action plan for Containment of Antimicrobial Resistance.

´  Subnational/institutional/hospital levels
´  Implementing relevant actions : surveillance, RDU, hospital policy etc ?

´  Community levels
´  Public education and advocacy ?

WHO Global Strategy for Containment
of Antimicrobial Resistance 2001
National Task Force to coordinate 67 interventions in
six key areas

1. Strengthen surveillance capabilities
2. Improve use of antimicrobials
3. Improve access to appropriate antimicrobials
4. Reduce disease burden & spread of infection
5. Enforce regulations & legislation
6. Develop appropriate new drugs & vaccines

WHO Global Action Plan on
Antimicrobial Resistance (2015)
Framework for National Action Plan,
with 5 objectives
1.  To improve awareness and understanding on
AMR
2.  To strengthen the knowledge and evidence base
through surveillance and research,
3.  To reduce the incidence of infection through
effective sanitation, hygiene and infection
prevention,
4.  To optimize the use of antimicrobial medicines for
human and animal health,
5.  To develop the economic case for sustainable
investment, taking into account the needs for all
countries, and to increase investment in new
medicines, diagnostic tools, vaccines and other
interventions.

World Leaders Commit To Act on
Antimicrobial Resistance, September 2016
´  Antimicrobial Resistance included
in the UN Agenda for Sustainable
Development.

´  One Health
´  Human Health
´  Animal health
´  Environmental Health

What lessons learnt from other priority
international agenda ?
´  Millennium Development Goals (MDG)
´  Non achievement of target in neonatal mortality
´  Non achievement of target in maternal mortality

´  What lessons learnt ?
´  Sense of ownership ?
´  Inter sector collaboration & everybody responsibility meaning nobody
responsibility
´  Quality of patient care at community and health facility levels ?

Success story (1)

´  Collaborative project supported by Thai FDA and WHO, involving 80 hospitals
and health centers, started in 2007.
´  Promote rational use of antibiotics
´  “No antibiotics for non-bacterial infection”
´  Research and advocacy
´  URI, acute diarrhea and simple wound.

´  Principles
´  Bottom up approach
´  Multi facet intervention
´  Inter sectors collaboration

´  Behavioral changes

STRAMA SWEDEN
Strategic Program Against Antimicrobial
Resistance
´  Started in 2007 involving 21 subnational
health authorities
´  At the national level
´  National Board of Health and Welfare
(national regulatory body)
´  Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease control
´  STRAMA group

´  STRAMA at the local level
´  Clinical microbiology
´  Infections control
´  Clinic for infectious diseases
´  Mandatory drug committee
´  Country medical officer.

´  Consensus & problem solving solution

involving providers and
consumers (IGD)
´  Mothers Active Learning Module
for critical assessment of ads
(CBIA)
´  MTP (monitoring training and
planning ) – micro-level instrument
to improve quality use
(MSH)

What are the way forwards?
´  Whole society engagement
´  Prevention first
´  Access
´  Sustainability
´  Incremental target for
improvement
WHO, 1915

´  Focused on actions
implementation at subnational/
hospital/community levels
´  Strengthen surveillance of high risk
conditions
´  Networking between referral
hospitals and districts hospitals
´  Community education on drugs/
antimicrobials.
´  National coordination mechanism
