Turning Plans into Action - Working Paper by World Health Organization
Turning plans into action, a working paper from the World Health Organization on implementing National Action Plans on antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
In March 2019, the World Health Organization developed this working paper to support AMR coordination committees and others tasked with addressing AMR at a country level to do just that. Using published literature and operational experience and expertise across different LMICs, the paper points to six key strategies for success and offers a series of practical tips and suggestions on how to implement each one.
