Source: World Health Organization (WHO). Published: 6/2018. This 17-page discussion paper identifies the challenges and gaps facing R&D and access to antimicrobial resistance (AMR)-related health technologies, and invites discussion of how to address these in the framework of a global response. It acknowledges that the response to AMR does not concern only anti-microbials but must include diagnostics, which form a core element of the response in helping to select appropriate anti-microbials to treat a disease; vaccines, which play an important role in preventing diseases, thus limiting the need for anti-microbials; and alternatives to antibiotics.

This 14-page discussion paper, prepared by the Ad-hoc Interagency Coordination Group (IACG) on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), draws on previous analyses to identify the critical components of effective surveillance systems for AMR and antimicrobial use, and invites discussion on how such systems can be strengthened. Through surveillance, countries can detect the emergence of AMR and collect the data on AMR prevalence and antimicrobial use necessary to guide patient treatment, identify populations at risk, inform policy development, and assess the impact of interventions.
