As the effectiveness ofantimicrobial treatments continues to decline, the ability to manage commoninfections is being compromised. This growing resistance not only hinders routinemedical care but also places complex medicalprocedures,such as surgeries,chemotherapy, and organ transplants,at greater risk due to increased chances ofinfection and reduced treatment options. In2024 AMR caused 1.14 million deaths worldwide and was associated with 4.71million deaths.WHO listedAMR among top 10 threats to global public health.It isnowestimated that more than 39 million people around the world could diebecause ofantibiotic resistance over the next 25years.In the United Nation Highlevel meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance in its 79 assembly on 20/09/2024; Globalleaders approved the critical declaration committing countries on a clear set oftargets and actions aiming towards reducing estimated global mortality by 10% by2031. The Ministry of Health and Prevention, the Ministry of Climate Change andEnvironment, and the relevant local authorities in the United Arab Emirates, arecommitted to advancing a coordinated, sustainable, and multi-sectoral nationalaction plan to combatantimicrobial resistance (AMR). Guided by the oversight ofthe UAE National AMR Committee, specialized technical subcommittees have beenformed to design and implement targeted strategies across key domains, includingAMR surveillance, antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention and control, aswell as the management of AMR risks within the food, animal, and environmentalsectors. These coordinated initiatives are being undertaken in close partnershipwith other governmental bodies, academic institutions, reference laboratories, research centers, and relevant national stakeholders to ensure an integrated andeffective response.
