Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance cuts across different sectors mainly human health, animal health and environment. Joint surveillance for existence and spread of antimicrobial resistance is critical for mounting efficient interventions for its containment. Maximum interaction between these sectors takes place in rural areas with abundant animal population. In India, these areas are administratively covered under a comprehensive unit called District headed by an administrator called as Collector or Deputy Commissioner. The existing structure provides an effective platform to undertake well-coordinated multisectoral joint surveillance to generate reliable and actionable data at the local level. A conceptual model has been proposed for possible implementation at the district and national levels in India.
