THE International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has released six regional roadmaps aimed at combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), outlining key actions for pharmacists from 2024 to 2028.
Developed in collaboration with FIP's regional pharmaceutical forums and European member organisations, the roadmaps define priorities for each World Health Organization region.
In Africa, the roadmap identifies eight priority actions, including promoting point-of-care diagnostic tools to differentiate bacterial from viral infections and guide appropriate antimicrobial use.
For the Americas, six key actions are outlined, such as educating healthcare providers about AMR and encouraging interprofessional collaboration in antimicrobial stewardship programs.
