The Medical Services Administration (MSA) under the Ministry of Health along with Family Health International (FHI 360) will work together on a project to control antimicrobial resistance in Vietnam.

The overuse and misuse of antibiotics by consumers are regarded as key drivers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Vietnam, according to Dr. Kidong Park, WHO Representative to Vietnam.

Vietnam and the United Kingdom will cooperate in fighting against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Vietnam over the next three years, according to a Memorandum of Understanding signed in Hanoi on November 26.

Experiences on coordination, implementation and collaboration in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Vietnam have been shared at a workshop in Hanoi.
