Abstract
Timor-Leste developed and implemented its first National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance Containment for Timor-Leste (NAP-AMR) 2016-2020. Much progress has been made in the areas of advocacy and awareness-raising, surveillance, infection prevention, and control and antimicrobial stewardship programs, for both human and animal health sectors. The National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance Containment (NAP-AMR) 2022-2026 has been developed and updated based on earlier progress, global and regional strategies, and experiences, which will be implemented in the next five years. This is a collective effort of all the relevant government departments from ministries of health, agriculture and fishery, environment and others, as well as partners and stakeholders.
The updated NAP-AMR 2022-2026 has established based on earlier progress, global and regional strategies and experiences. The vision for NAP-AMR is reduction in mortality, morbidity and economic impact of antimicrobial resistance. The mission is to establish policies and national multisectoral mechanisms that support an effective, sustained, collaborated and coordinated AMR management system both at the national and the sub-national level. The NAP-AMR 2022-2026 is built on the learnings and challenges from the first NAP-AMR 2017-2020, and is aligned with the 5 strategic priorities of the Global AMR Action Plan: 1. Improve awareness and understanding of AMR through effective communication, education and training; 2. Strengthen knowledge and evidence through surveillance; 3. Reduce the incidence of infection through effective sanitation, hygiene and infection prevention measures; 4. Optimize the use of antimicrobial agents in human, animal, plant health and food and regulate access to high-quality antimicrobial agents; 5. Promote integrated governance and coordination for AMR activities and research, while also strengthening collaborations at international, national and sub-national levels.
