In support of the celebration of World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW), the DA-Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards (DA-BAFS) joined the celebration by recitation of the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) pledge and signing of commitment during the Bureau’s flag-raising ceremony on November 18, 2024. The Bureau’s cooperation during WAAW celebration represents a significant step in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance. By committing to responsible antimicrobial use, improving infection control, and supporting education and research efforts, signatories contribute to a collective movement aimed at preserving the effectiveness of life-saving drugs.
Additionally, the Bureau participated in the celebration of WAAW related activity for the agricultural sector held last November 19, 2024 at the Novotel Manila Araneta Center, Quezon City, and acted as one of the resource speakers during the event. Mr. John Gregory V. Aquino represented the agency and shared in his presentation the efforts related to development and promotions of Philippine National Standards (PNS) and how the PNS serves as a key tool in combating AMR.
The WAAW is a global campaign to raise awareness and understanding of Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and promote best practices among One Health stakeholders to reduce the emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections.
The DA-BAFS through continued commitment, collaboration, and accountability, can work together to suppress the threat of antimicrobial resistance and safeguard public health for future generations.
