Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern in Asia, and it is essential to understand the prevalence, pandemic, prevention, and policies to overcome it. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), AMR is one of the main causes of death; in 2019, it was linked to 4.95 million fatalities and caused about 1.27 million deaths. A core package of actions has been provided by WHO to help countries prioritize their needs when creating, carrying out, and overseeing national action plans on antimicrobial resistance. Using a people-cantered approach to AMR, the interventions address the needs and obstacles that individuals and patients encounter when trying to obtain healthcare. The people-cantered core package of AMR treatments seeks to improve public and policymakers; awareness and comprehension of AMR by changing the narrative of AMR to emphasize the needs of people and systemic impairments. Additionally, it backs a more comprehensive and programmatic national response to AMR, which emphasizes the value of fair and inexpensive access to high-quality healthcare services for the avoidance, identification, and management of drug-resistant diseases. The report signals increasing resistance to antibiotics in bacterial infections in humans and the need for better data. In conclusion, the prevalence of AMR in Asia is a significant public health concern, and it is crucial to implement policies and interventions to overcome it.
抗菌药物耐药性(AMR)在亚洲日益受到关注,了解其流行情况、全球蔓延态势、预防措施及应对政策至关重要。根据世界卫生组织(WHO)的数据,AMR是主要死因之一;2019年,它与495万人的死亡有关,导致约127万人死亡。WHO提供了一套核心行动方案,以帮助各国在制定、实施和监督抗菌药物耐药性国家行动计划时确定自身需求的优先级。通过采用以人为主的方法应对AMR,这些干预措施解决了个人和患者在寻求医疗保健时遇到的需求和障碍。以人为主的AMR治疗核心方案旨在通过改变AMR的叙述方式来强调人们的需求和系统缺陷,从而提高公众和政策制定者对AMR的认识和理解。此外,它支持对AMR采取更全面、系统性的国家应对措施,强调公平且廉价地获得高质量医疗服务对于预防、识别和管理耐药性疾病的价值。该报告表明人类细菌感染中对抗生素的耐药性不断增加,且需要更好的数据。总之,AMR在亚洲的流行是一个重大的公共卫生问题,实施相关政策和干预措施以克服这一问题至关重要。
