The Minister of Health and Family Welfare has finalised comprehensive and multi-sectoral national action plan to combat the menace of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in India.

Announcing this at the ‘Inter-ministerial consultation on AMR containment’ meeting in New Delhi yesterday, J P Nadda, Minister of Health and Family Welfare, said “Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society and is driven by many interconnected factors. Single, isolated interventions have limited impact and coordinated action is required to minimise the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance.”
