Policy paper: Evaluating the National Action Plan (NAP) on Antimicrobial Resistance

Evaluating the National Action Plan (NAP) on antimicrobial resistance, and recommendations for the next 5-year NAP: a roundtable discussion

The discussion revealed a critical gap between the growing ambitions of the NAP and the dwindling financial support. Key concerns included the difficulty of turning evidence into action, limited communication across sectors, and a lack of sustained funding.
