National Action Plans on Antimicrobial Resistance (NAPs)

National Action Plans on Antimicrobial Resistance (NAPs) are government-led strategies designed to combat the growing threat of resistant germs that make antibiotics ineffective. These plans outline steps to improve infection prevention, promote responsible antibiotic use, enhance research, and strengthen healthcare systems. By coordinating efforts across healthcare, agriculture, and the community, NAPs aim to slow the spread of resistant bacteria, preserve the effectiveness of existing medicines, and protect public health for the future.
