Health experts call for a state action plan on AMR in Telangana

Hyderabad: Experts from health, veterinary, agriculture, pollution control and environment in a meeting on the threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) said that there was a need to frame an action plan to contain the threat of AMR in Telangana.

Over 50 experts in a meeting organised by ReAct Asia Pacific, a network working on AMR and advocacy group Superheroes against Superbugs, discussed the possible impact of AMR in Telangana.

Dr T Gangadhar, Technical Adviser, Government of Telangana and Professor (Nephrology) NIMS said, “Antibiotic misuse, lack of clean water and sanitation, and inadequate infection prevention and control are the major drivers of AMR in Telangana. There needs to be a multisectoral plan to contain AMR in the State.”

He suggested that some of the mechanisms already put in place for Covid response by the State government can be utilised for AMR surveillance. “Telangana diagnostic hubs have been created in each district with all the necessary microbiology services, which can be utilised to monitor AMR at the district level by putting in place a State level nodal centre for data collection and reporting.”

Dr Krishna Reddy, Director of Access Health India, Dr Anuj Sharma, Technical Office (AMR, Infection Prevention Control & Labs) at WHO Country Office for India, Dr Dilip Mathai, Dean of Apollo Institute of Medical Sciences and other senior doctors were present.
