Act to reduce the individual and institutional factors that enable antimicrobial resistance and the emergence of disease threats that move from animals to humans. These are known as zoonotic diseases.
Increase surveillance and early detection of drug-resistant microorganisms and novel zoonotic diseases.
Strengthen supply chains.
Promote safe practices in livestock production and the marketing of animals.
Promote the appropriate and responsible use of antibiotics in all settings, including developing strategies to improve food safety.
Promoting national biosafety and biosecurity systems
Promote the development of ways for countries to manage biological materials needed for diagnosis, research, and biosurveillance. This effort involves identifying, securing, safely monitoring, and storing dangerous microbes in a minimal number of facilities. It is also necessary to advance safe and responsible conduct for handling microbes.
Reducing the number and magnitude of infectious disease outbreaks
Establish effective programs for vaccination against epidemic-prone diseases and infection control in hospitals.
