Stepping up work on developing a State action plan for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), Karnataka’s Health Department has set out a strategic implementable roadmap to combat AMR. The action plan has been pending for nearly five years.
The World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) is observed from November 18 to November 24. “Preventing antimicrobial resistance together” is the theme for WAAW 2023.
Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao, who inaugurated a State-level sensitisation workshop for health officials on Tuesday, said Karnataka will adopt a “one health approach” by involving various stakeholders in its efforts to check AMR.
