Descripción
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global threat Although much evolving AMR can be attributed to the use and misuse of antimicrobials in humans, the overuse of drugs in the livestock sector also jeopardizes the effective treatment of human and animal diseases There is very limited information available in Ukraine related to the use of antimicrobials in the livestock sector however, recent studies carried out by national authorities on the sale of antimicrobials for use in veterinary practice provide clear evidence of the widespread use and possible misuse of antimicrobials along the meat and dairy value chains Awareness of the threat of AMR development and spread is low among public authorities and the professionals involved in the livestock sector In addition, no efficient system exists in the country to monitor antimicrobial use ( and AMR in order to carry out the necessary risk assessments and put in place evidence based policies for AMR risk management In the light of this situation, Ukraine requested FAO assistance to enhance its capacities for antimicrobial resistance.
