AMR Governance Structure
The AMR Platform is supported by Ghana's Ministry of Health; Ministry of Food and Agriculture; Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation; Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture Development.
AMR Action Plan
In 2016, the Platform oversaw the development of a National Policy on Antimicrobial Use and Resistance with a clear One Health approach and multi-sectoral support provided by the Ministries. The Platform has also developed a detailed National Action Plan to address issues identified in the situation analysis of the AMR Policy. The Ghana Cabinet approved both documents in 2017.
Latest Activity
New country reports provide detailed accounts of drug resistance surveillance across the African continent to reduce the burden of AMR.
