Countries Take Action to Tackle Antimicrobial Resistance

Many countries are taking significant action to tackle antimicrobial resistance and minimise the growing threat to human and animal health. A recent report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that while certain countries are making improvements there are still gaps where urgent attention is required in approximately 154 countries.

The report analyses surveillance, education, monitoring, and regulating the consumption and use of antimicrobial in human and animal health as well as production as recommended in the Global Action Plan published in 2016.

Antimicrobial resistance has become a cause for concern in recent years and Randox recognise the need for an accurate, reliable, multiplexing system for antibiotics and various contaminants that can end up in the human food supply chain.
