Nepal Public Health Foundation in collaboration with The One Health Trust and The Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP) organized a workshop on “Antimicrobial Resistance and Vaccines “at the Yellow Pagoda Hotel, Kathmandu on 11th January, 2024.

Antimicrobial Resistance, a silent epidemic, as stated by the World Health Organization requires immediate action from all the actors. Vaccines are highly effective tools for containment of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as they prevent infections, lessen antimicrobial use thereby mitigate the development and spread of AMR.

Promoting vaccines as an effective tool to combat AMR is the aim of the program. The workshop was well attended by the experts from both human health and animal health sector.
