Global health agency deepens collaborative efforts to strengthen preparedness against antimicrobial resistance

India, Apr 03 ; The World Health Organization (WHO) is intensifying efforts to support countries in preparing for outbreaks of antimicrobial resistant infections within healthcare facilities. By working closely with its leading collaborating centres, WHO has enhanced the technical foundation of its AMR preparedness work, facilitating broader adoption of regional response strategies. Member States are being encouraged to scale up surveillance, infection prevention, and control measures as part of a coordinated global approach. Health experts say bolstering readiness and sharing best practices are pivotal to combating the growing threat of drug‑resistant pathogens that can undermine treatment outcomes across health systems worldwide.
