Towards One Health action for addressing antimicrobial resistance in the age of polycrisis - Nature

A 2025 training in Jakarta to improve the capacity of laboratory technicians for AMR testing. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the world’s most pressing public health threats. It makes common infections harder to treat and increases the risk of prolonged illness, disability and death. Because resistant microorganisms can spread between people, animals and the environment, addressing AMR requires a One Health approach that recognizes the close connections between human, animal and environmental health and promotes collaboration across sectors. To monitor progress and identify areas that need further attention, countries participate in the annual Tracking AMR Country Self-Assessment Survey (TrACSS), a global survey coordinated by WHO, FAO, UNEP and WOAH. The survey helps countries identify achievements, challenges and priorities for further action. Previous TrACSS findings informed the development of Indonesia’s 2025–2029 national AMR strategy, which adopts a One Health approach. They also helped identify priority sectors and target participants for programme implementation.
