Our vision
Our work is on Antimicrobial Stewardship in humans.
We therefore envision a future for Nigeria :
Where antimicrobial resistance is minimized through optimal antimicrobial use, safeguarding public health, animal health, and the environment for present and future generations.
Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) is integrated into all levels of the healthcare system .This includes primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare facilities, community pharmacies and public health facilities
Evidence-based guidelines for antimicrobial use are developed, disseminated, and consistently implemented nationwide. These guidelines are regularly updated based on the latest scientific evidence and local epidemiological data.
Healthcare professionals and the public are knowledgeable and actively engaged in responsible antimicrobial use.
Robust antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance systems are utilized to monitor trends, detect outbreaks, and inform AMS interventions.
Access to quality-assured antimicrobials is ensured, inappropriate dispensing is strictly controlled, and where effective mechanisms are in place to prevent counterfeit and substandard antimicrobials from entering the market.
Innovation and research in antimicrobial resistance and stewardship are promoted and supported.
This vision serves as a guiding principle for the Nigerian National Antimicrobial
Stewardship Taskforce as we work towards a healthier and more sustainable future for Nigeria.
