This first Fleming Fund Country Grant for Vietnam focuses on strengthening the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial use (AMU) surveillance systems in both the human and animal health sectors towards the One Health Approach to bring together multi-sectoral stakeholders to share surveillance data and gain better understanding of AMR and AMU, contributing to the government’s efforts of developing national multi-sectoral AMR/AMU stewardship strategies and plans.
