In order to identify organisms resistant to drugs used for human and animal health, poison control, infection prevention, antimicrobial control, animal health resistance it is necessary to improve the knowledge and competence of sector personnel and promote the correct use of mass media in this field. Objectives for implementing microbial resistance surveillance shall be as follows: (a) creation of an association to ensure intersectoral cooperation; development and implementation of management mechanisms to prevent antimicrobial resistance; (b) improvement of the detection and monitoring of microbial resistance, integration of information on antimicrobial resistance at the national level, performance of cross-analysis, strengthening reporting capacity; and (c) monitoring of the use of antimicrobials, reducing their misuse and protecting health; controlling microbial resistance in healthcare and promoting responsible use of veterinary drugs through increased enforcement.
