Public perception and community-level impact of national action plans on antimicrobial resistance in Vietnam

  17 January 2024

Vietnam was the first country from the WHO Western Pacific Region to adopt a national action plan (NAP) on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in 2013. The multilayered nature of AMR requires coordination across ‘One Health’ sectors, dedicated financing, multistakeholder involvement, and widespread community engagement to implement the action plans. This study explores the perceived impact of NAP implementation at the community level.

There were many positive critical developments during the NAP implementation period in Vietnam towards AMR mitigation. For better impact, there is a need to revitalize the implementation machinery of NAPs by improving the enforcement capacity of regulations, cross-sectoral collaboration and promoting community ownership.
