The prime minister made the call at the virtual launch of ‘One Health Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance’ as a co-chair on Friday. She hoped that the Leaders’ Group will be successful to mainstream the vital health issue in all important discourses contributing to the united global effort to fight the “ominous” development of antibiotic resistance. So, I would call upon the global leaders to make this timely initiative successful by providing advocacy, technical and financial support for effective implementation of the recommendations of the‘ Inter Agency Coordination Group on Antimicrobial Resistance’ to address the global antimicrobial resistance crisis,” she said. Hasina added there is no doubt that antimicrobial resistance has become a global public health challenge both for humans and animals. Inspired by the WHO Global Action Plan in 2015, Bangladesh has formulated the“National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance Containment 2017–2022”, according to her.
