Policy actions from the SAIR policy report

Integrated surveillance

Connect human, animal and environmental surveillance through GLASS, InFARM and ANIMUSE-aligned reporting.

Antimicrobial consumption and use

Monitor AMC and AMU with the AWaRe classification to guide access, watch and reserve decisions.

Stewardship programmes

Institutionalise antimicrobial stewardship with clinical decision support in hospitals and primary care.

Priority pathogens

Align national priorities with the WHO Bacterial Priority Pathogen List and regional resistance patterns.

Research and development

Support research, diagnostics and partnerships such as GARDP and multi-partner funding mechanisms.

Governance and coordination

One national framework and a global leaders approach for cross-sector accountability.

Programme recommendations

  1. 1Potentiate evidence through research development and data monitoring of risk analysis and stratification, especially for foodborne antimicrobial resistance.
  2. 2Implement an effective surveillance system that is active, sentinel and AI-supported.
  3. 3Set up community health needs assessments covering perceived, expressed, absolute and relative needs.
  4. 4Expand knowledge through professional education, clinical training and laboratory apprenticeship.
  5. 5Reduce disease burden by ensuring antibiotics are prescribed following rapid and efficient diagnosis.
  6. 6Build globally driven national guidelines for the most pressing resistance priorities.
  7. 7Strengthen open access to surveillance data and sharing between national and international efforts.
  8. 8Coordinate one governance framework across MOH, NGHA, MEWA and SFDA, aligned with the WHO–FAO–WOAH model.
