Abstract
The National Action Plan on Anti-Microbial Resistance (NAPAMR) is a cross sectoral plan of Rwanda for the period 2020-2024. Antimicrobial resistance affects infact not only human health, but also other sectors such as animal health, agriculture, food security, water and sanitation, and economic development. The vision of the Plan is to ensure access and use of quality, safe and effective antimicrobials in treatment and prevention of infectious diseases in humans, animals and the environment. To this end the Plan embraces the One Health approach in the prevention, slow down and control of the spread of resistant microorganisms while ensuring the availability of safe, effective, and quality assured antimicrobials and their prudent and rational use.
The overall goal of the action plan is to ensure the ability to treat and prevent infectious diseases with quality, effective and safe antimicrobials medicines.
To this end, it sets out five strategic objectives, which will be operationalized in order to reach the desired targets of this Plan. The Strategic objectives are the following: 1. Increase national awareness and understanding of AMR through education and training 2. Strengthen the Knowledge and Evidence-Based through Surveillance and Research Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance for Infection Prevention and Control 3. Reduce the incidence of infection through effective sanitation, hygiene and infection prevention measures. 4. Optimize the Use of Antimicrobial Agents in Human and Animal Health 5. Ensure sustainable investment in AMR through Sustainable and equitable financing mechanism and research and development. In each strategic objective, the priority actions, interventions and key activities have been identified by the Plan.
The One Health approach was adopted by the National Multi-Sectoral Coordinating Committee (MCC) for the development and implementation of the AMR Action Plan. The development of a plan of activities (NAP) is coordinated by MOH/ clinical service Directorate through the Pharmaceutical Services Unit focal point. This will work in collaboration with the AMR secretariat (which includes AMR focal points within the ministry of agriculture and animal resources, the Ministry of Health, the ministry of environment/ and any other members nominated by Multi-Sectoral Coordinating Committee (MCC)). The National antimicrobial resistance multi-sectoral coordinating committee has four sub-Technical Working Groups (TWG), in accordance with the Rwanda One Health Policy document and the strategic objectives of the Nation Action Plan (NAP) for antimicrobial resistance, namely: (i) Sub technical working group for Awareness, effective communication and Education (ii) Sub Technical working group for AMR Knowledge, Surveillance, Research and sustainable investments (iii) Sub Technical working group for sanitation, hygiene and infection prevention and control (iv) Sub technical Working Groups for Antimicrobial use stewardship.
The action plan includes a detailed, realistic and cost-effective implementation plan with the specific activities and the planned resources required to carry out the priority activities of the strategic plan. The Antimicrobial Resistance committee (AMRC) is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the strategic plan.
