6 steps for sustainable implementation of national action plans on antimicrobial resistance
The aim of this course is to provide information on the “WHO implementation handbook for national action plans on antimicrobial resistance: guidance for the human health sector” and the 6 steps for sustainable implementation of NAPs on AMR. This course is intended for national/subnational policy-makers, technical leads and implementing partners working on the implementation of NAPs on AMR within the human health sector.
AMR is a growing global threat to public health and countries have developed NAPs to counter this threat. This course covers the 6 steps for sustainable implementation of NAPs on AMR from the “WHO implementation handbook for national action plans on antimicrobial resistance: guidance for the human health sector”. The 6 steps include:
