Project Title: “Smart regulation of antibiotic use in India: understanding, innovating and improving compliance”
Job Title: Senior Research Fellow
Project Summary: The containment of AMR is a multi-faceted task that needs a one-health approach as suggested in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) 2015 Global Action Plan (GAP) on AMR. Countries including India have aligned their National Action Plans (NAPs) on AMR with this international guidance. One of the important links for various activities for AMR containment is the appropriate use of antibiotics to reduce selection pressure on microbes. According to the GAP, effective regulation will be a key tool for ensuring that national standards aimed at optimizing the use of antimicrobial medicines in
human and animal health are followed in practice. The core idea of this project is to understand and gather the ideas and methods of ‘smart regulation’ to better understand the underlying problems and apply
them to co-produce innovative regulations with Indian national and state regulators and regulatory subjects that will likely lead to mutually acceptable regulations
