  • The Union Health Secretary recently chaired a Committee to emphasize the importance of inter-sectoral coordination in the "National Action Plan for Containment of AMR (NAP-AMR)." This committee involved representatives from various departments ranging from the Department of Animal Husbandry to the involvement of AYUSH and discussed on-      

  • Establishment of an Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) unit at the NCDC, which will coordinate with other programs.        

  • Developing a digital platform to collate data on antimicrobial consumption.         

  • Developing individual state action plan.        

  • Devising an integrated research agenda on AMR. 

  • The ministry will develop the NAP-AMR 2.0, based on the lessons of the ongoing plan with thorough inter-sectoral coordination.
