| What is Kerala's status in terms of pharmaceutical consumption? | considered a consumer State for pharmaceuticals with a total consumption of drugs in the State estimated to be around INR 20,000 crores per annum | The Kerala Antimicrobial Resistance Strategic Action Plan (KARSAP) outlines the strategic priorities and activities to achieve the objectives, outputs and outcomes, right from awareness and knowledge, surveillance, optimizing antimicrobial use including antimicrobial stewardship, research to infection prevention and control. Kerala is considered a consumer State for pharmaceuticals with a total consumption of drugs in the State estimated to be around INR 20,000 crores per annum. Therefore, rational use of pharmaceuticals is very important for Kerala. | 337 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr14.pdf | Kerala is considered a consumer State for pharmaceuticals with a total consumption of drugs in the State estimated to be around INR 20,000 crores per annum. | 6 | page=6,block=4 | 0.850 | valid |
| What is crucial for effectively tackling antimicrobial resistance? | an integrated overarching “One Health” approach | In order to minimize the development of AMR and to maintain the effectiveness of existing antimicrobials, an integrated overarching “One Health” approach is essential in addressing this complex and challenging issue. The KARSAP has been developed involving multiple sectors and it addresses a wide range of activities required to tackle AMR problem effectively. I am glad to acknowledge the support provided by the World Health Organisation Country Office for India in the development and implementation of KARSAP, which requires commitment and complementary efforts from all related sectors including health professionals – which include doctors, nurses, microbiologists, pharmacologists, researchers – veterinarians, farmers those involved in fisheries and all other related stakeholders. Educational campaigns and awareness of AMR should also be addressed to all levels of Society. | 106 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr14.pdf | In order to minimize the development of AMR and to maintain the effectiveness of existing antimicrobials, an integrated overarching “One Health” approach is essential in addressing this complex and challenging issue. | ||||

| What strategy has Kerala adopted for antimicrobial resistance containment since October last year? | a comprehensive One Health approach | Preface The Kerala Government identified antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a priority few years back. Since then Kerala has been working on its containment through the State AMR committee. A number of activities have been organized for AMR containment in the state including awareness generation, AMR surveillance through laboratory data, infection prevention and control and facilitating pilot research projects for AMR containment. Since October last year, the approach for AMR containment has been widened, involving stakeholders from animal husbandry, agriculture, food, environment, research and civil society, under the umbrella of a comprehensive One Health approach. This led to a revision of the membership of the State AMR committee and developing a new set of strategies on AMR surveillance, prevention and research. | 638 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr14.pdf | Since October last year, the approach for AMR containment has been widened, involving stakeholders from animal husbandry, agriculture, food, environment, research and civil society, under the umbrella of a comprehensive One Health approach. | ||||
