AI Article Synopsis

  • * A study compared AMR surveillance systems in high and low-middle economies within the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation from 2015 to 2018, using a survey of 21 countries to analyze the relationship between economic development and AMR awareness and funding.
  • * Results showed that while high economies made more progress in AMR surveillance, overall improvements were noted; however, further research is needed, especially in low-middle economies and sectors like food production.

Article Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health concern for both animal and public health, and collaborative strategies are needed to combat the threat. The level of awareness and funding for policies focused on reducing AMR varies between countries. The aim of this study was to compare the integrated surveillance systems for AMR in high and low-middle economies of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and determine whether there was any improvement from 2015 to 2018. We conducted a survey with a group of 21 countries at different development levels. Associations between the economic development level and the questions of AMR awareness and funding were established using Fisher's exact test. Improvements were identified where countries established public policies for integrated surveillance of AMR. High economies showed greater advancement in several topics related to AMR than low-middle economies. The survey revealed that there is a better understanding surrounding the implications of the emergence of AMR in human medicine than in veterinary medicine, agriculture, and food production. Our results show that countries enhanced overall AMR surveillance over the 4-year-period; however, more research is needed concerning these advances, especially in low-middle economies and the food production sector.

Background: As envisioned by the 2010 Constitution, Kenya implemented a devolved system of government in March 2013, setting up 47 counties and a corresponding number of local governments. These counties differed in their levels of development. While counties such as Nairobi and Kiambu led in social and economic indicators, others such as Turkana, Mandera and Wajir were at the bottom of the list.
