Countermeasures to AMR
International organizations (including the World Health Organization [WHO]), Japan, US and EU countries have undertaken countermeasures against antimicrobial resistance (see the Figure). WHO adopted the Global Action Plan in May 2015 and will promote countermeasures against antimicrobial resistance by strengthening collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and WOAH based on the concept of “One Health”.
Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
Since antimicrobial resistance is a problem for which professionals in the concerned areas, including human health, animal health and others, should undertake in close coordination, this Action Plan includes countermeasures for which the concerned government ministries/agencies and concerned organizations should work on cooperatively and intensively.
