The OIE Strategy on Antimicrobial Resistance and the Prudent Use of Antimicrobials

The OIE has been working on the AMR issue for a long time. In undertaking its role as a standard- setting organisation* for animal health, including zoonoses, the OIE has developed a wide range of international standards on antimicrobial agents, in particular on responsible and prudent use. These standards are regularly reviewed and updated through the transparent and inclusive process of expert advice and member consultation before presentation for adoption to the World Assembly of Delegates from our 180 Member Countries each year. The OIE also works with its Member countries in a comprehensive and continuous capacity building process for their Veterinary Services.
