Antimicrobial resistance plan for TG 

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy will release an action plan on antimicrobial resistance on October 3.
 Damodar Rajanarsimha, Minister for Health, Medical and Family Welfare will be the guest of honour. Six states in India have this plan in place and once the plan is unveiled by the Chief Minister, Telangana is going to be the 7th State to have AMR plan in place.
A conference would be held in the city from October 3rd to 5th.
 Dr Ranga Reddy Burri, president, Infection Control Academy and Chair, G-SPARC and R Govind Hari, chairman of the Pragyaan Sustainable Health Outcomes Foundation (PRASHO) said that the objective of the conference is to provide a platform for Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Patient Safety stakeholders from Global South (resource-limited countries in Asia, Africa, Middle East, South America) to collaborate for better policies, research, tailored solutions and practices on IPC, AMS and WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) and pandemic preparedness.
The organisers highlighted that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) impacts people of all ages and transcends borders, affecting every country.
However, the burden is disproportionately heavier on developing nations and vulnerable populations.
