| What does Schedule H-1 in the Drug and Cosmetic rules aim to control? | the sale of antimicrobials in the country | At 12.9x109 units of antibiotics consumed in 2010, India was the largest consumer of antibiotics for human health. Although the per capita consumption of antibiotics in India (10.7 units per capita) was lower than that seen in many other countries (e.g. 22 units per capita in USA). Since March 2014 a separate Schedule H-1 has been incorporated in Drug and Cosmetic rules to regulate the sale of antimicrobials in the country. About 24 antimicrobials belonging to third and fourth generation cephalosporins and carbapenems are covered under the schedule. These antimicrobials cannot be sold without a proper medical prescription and these drug packaging are required to be labelled with the following text along with red border. | 385 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr11.pdf | Since March 2014 a separate Schedule H-1 has been incorporated in Drug and Cosmetic rules to regulate the sale of antimicrobials in the country. | 17 | page=17,block=15 | 0.700 | valid |
| What does the Global Action Plan on AMR aim to provide in the fight against antimicrobial resistance? | a broad framework for combating AMR | In May 2014, the World Health Assembly requested the development of a global action plan (GAP) on antimicrobial resistance, in resolution WHA67.25, reflecting a global consensus that antimicrobial resistance poses a profound threat to human health. The WHO Secretariat led the development of the Global Action Plan on AMR (GAP-AMR) that takes into account the commitment, perspectives and roles of all relevant stakeholders, and in which everyone has clear and shared ownership and responsibilities. In May 2015, the sixty- eight World Health Assembly endorsed the GAP-AMR to tackle antimicrobial resistance – including antibiotic resistance, the most urgent drug resistance trend. The WHA resolution also requests Member States to align their national action plans with GAP-AMR by May 2017. The Global Action Plan on AMR provides a broad framework for combating AMR. | 831 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr11.pdf | The Global Action Plan on AMR provides a broad framework for combating AMR. | 10 | page=10,block=5 | 0.700 | |
| What is the main role of ARBs in addressing antimicrobial resistance? | help in restoring the effectiveness of drugs to which the microbes would otherwise be resistant | ARBs can be known compounds as well as novel molecules which have no or minimal antibacterial activity, but which help in restoring the effectiveness of drugs to which the microbes would otherwise be resistant. The current consensus seems to be that there is a need to develop ARBs that are likely to salvage key members of each group of antibiotics, especially those that target Gram negative bacteria. | 114 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr11.pdf | ARBs can be known compounds as well as novel molecules which have no or minimal antibacterial activity, but which help in restoring the effectiveness of drugs to which the microbes would otherwise be resistant. | 18 | page=18,block=17 | 0.700 | valid |

| What is the primary goal outlined by GAP-AMR to address antimicrobial resistance? | to improve awareness and understanding of AMR through effective communication, education and training | The GAP-AMR states that the first strategic objective in effectively containing AMR is to improve awareness and understanding of AMR through effective communication, education and training. The strategy envisions that the awareness building has to proceed on several fronts at the same time. On one hand it has to leverage public communication programs to encourage behaviour change in target populations – namely stakeholders in human health, animal health and agriculture; and on the other there needs to be concerted efforts to incorporate AMR as a core component in the professional education of medical and veterinary professionals. The need to focus on awareness building, both in consumers and providers, was highlighted by the results of the multi-country public awareness survey that was conducted by WHO in 2015. | 87 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr11.pdf | The GAP-AMR states that the first strategic objective in effectively containing AMR is to improve awareness and understanding of AMR through effective communication, education and training. | ||||

| What is the role of governance mechanisms in addressing antimicrobial resistance? | effective intersectoral coordination of activities to combat AMR | The Government of India is strongly committed to tackling AMR in the country and lead the global and regional AMR agenda. The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi highlighted India’s role in tackling AMR at the joint statement issued after the meeting with President Barack Obama of the United States of America, as well as the Government’s commitment to tackle AMR during his Mann ki Baat address in July 2016. Governance mechanisms are essential for effective intersectoral coordination of activities to combat AMR. They are also important to engage key stakeholders in the development of NAP- AMR to ensure their ownership during the implementation phase. Governance mechanisms need political support and authority to take actions, and are more likely to be effective with clearly defined terms of reference. The following AMR committee/groups (figure 1) were notified on 27 September 2016. | 449 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr11.pdf | Governance mechanisms are essential for effective intersectoral coordination of activities to combat AMR. | 20 | page=20,block=3 |
