"We must work together across disciplines and boundaries to develop strategies that promote responsible antibiotic use, strengthen infection prevention and control measures, and preserve the effectiveness of these life-saving medications."

Speaking at the same event, Zimbabwe's Health and Child Care Minister, Douglas Mombeshora, said antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest public health threats, adding that AMR prevention and control is high on the national agenda.

"We must not forget that the antimicrobial resistance response requires a whole of society approach, hence all of us are called upon to play our part in the prevention and control of antimicrobial resistance."

The WAAW week, which started on Saturday and will conclude on Nov. 24, is an annual global event that aims to enhance awareness and understanding of the challenges posed by antimicrobial resistance while promoting best practices in antimicrobial stewardship across public health, animal health, and the environment.
