The Director General of the National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, has highlighted some of the strategies being used to address the challenge posed by antimicrobial resistance in the country.
Adeyeye said the Agency’s strategy to combat AMR is rooted in the One Health approach and implemented through a comprehensive, multi-sectoral framework.
She highlighted the four key priorities that guide the NAFDAC’s effort in combatting AMR to include; strengthening regulation and surveillance, antibiotic stewardship in the community and hospitals, promoting rational use in animal care, engaging the agricultural value chain and public and professional enlightenment.
