Strengthening Institutional Capacity in Surveillance and Monitoring of Antimicrobial Resistance and Antimicrobial Use in the Animal Health Sector - TCP/IND/3803 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been globally recognized as an emerging public-health threat. Every year AMR kills an estimated 700 000 people worldwide, most of these in developing countries. It is estimated that by 2050 if not addressed, this number may rise to 10 million, having severe adverse effects on the global economy. In addition, global demand for meat has increased by more than 60 percent in the past decade. Thus, protecting the food chain from resistant pathogens contamination will be expensive if no measures are taken to reduce the usage of antimicrobials, specifically antibiotics in animal production. India developed its National Strategic Action Plan (NAP) for AMR through an extensive consultative process and in the true spirit of a One Health approach, providing equal representation of human health, animal health and environmental sectors in its implementation. The NAP articulates the need to initiate laboratory-based surveillance to understand the magnitude and dynamics of AMR and antimicrobial use (AMU) in various sectors.
