Antimicrobial resistance programme to roll out this week in Guyana

The programme – ‘Triangular Cooperation Project on Strengthening National and Regional Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), Detection and Surveillance’ – is in keeping with an agreement that was signed among Argentina, CARICOM, and PAHO. Over the next two years, it will be rolled out in the 14 CARICOM Member States. The project is focused on addressing AMR through capacity building for the conduct of: high quality testing for the detection of AMR; collate and analyze AMR laboratory data; and finally use the laboratory results to monitor trends and improve prescribing practices.
