AMR Alliance Japan (Secretariat: Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI)) released “AMR Alliance Japan Policy Recommendations: The Japanese Government’s Role in Promoting AMR Countermeasures” on July 11, 2019.

The meeting participants discussed the critical status of current AMR-related problems, the National Action Plan on AMR, guidelines for the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents, functions of infection control teams/human resources at health facilities, the promotion of public awareness on AMR, and other issues.
