| What is antimicrobial resistance (AMR) recognized as globally? | an emerging public-health threat globally with serious health and economic implications. | Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is recognized as an emerging public-health threat globally with serious health and economic implications. If the current trends continue, AMR may lead to difficulty in treating common infections, uncertainty in success of high-end procedures, longer hospital stays and more expensive treatments. AMR poses growing threat not just to humans but also to plant and animal health due to interconnected ecosystems and therefore needs to be addressed through a 'One Health' approach involving coordination and collaboration among multiple stakeholders. The National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance was developed in alignment with WHO's Global action plan on AMR and launched in the year 2017. To continue the fight against AMR through one Health approach, a more practical NAP AMR 2. (2025-2029) has been prepared. | 48 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr10.pdf | Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is recognized as an emerging public-health threat globally with serious health and economic implications.

| What is outlined by the National Strategy for AMR Containment? | the goal of AMR Containment in India | In view of the challenges and gaps experienced during the implementation of NAP AMR (2017-21), the NAP-AMR 2.0 includes specific action plans of each key stakeholder ministry/department with timelines and budget. The NAP-AMR 2.0 is based on ‘Whole of government’ approach with sustained funding within each sector/department and effective sectoral action as the foundation of intersectoral coordination. The National Strategy for AMR Containment defines the goal of AMR Containment in India. It also describes the six strategic objectives with sub-objectives and key activities to be undertaken with a ‘One Health’ approach. The first strategic objective focusses on improving awareness and understanding of AMR through effective communication, education and training. | 454 | definition | 1.000 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr10.pdf | The National Strategy for AMR Containment defines the goal of AMR Containment in India. | 32 | page=32,block=3 | 0.700 | valid |
