Abstract:
Anti-microbial resistance (AMR) is a global issue. A major contributing factor to this has been the increased and improper use of anti-microbial such as antibiotics. Issues such as use of antibiotics for the wrong intentions, and uncontrolled purchase of over-the-counter drugs. This study aims to look at AMR and especially antibiotic resistance in Afghanistan, its trends and contributing factors. Besides, it was aimed at reviewing the existing policies, strategies, and practices of AMR. Lastly, the study sought to review international guidelines and the best practices on AMR and make proper linkages to the country guidelines. This study was based on 2 approaches: 1) data collection and analysis from three reference laboratories and 2) literature review about antibiotic resistance in Afghanistan.
