The Fleming Fund management agent for country grants is now opened for qualified licensed/registered entities in Vietnam.

The grant aims to work toward strengthening antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial usage (AMU) surveillance in Vietnam. Work will be done in collaboration with the Government of Vietnam’s National Steering Committee (NSC) on the prevention of AMR.

In details, the objectives are to strengthen One Health approaches to information sharing; strengthen AMR and AMU surveillance system in the human health sector and strengthen AMR and AMU surveillance system in the animal health sector.

The Fleming Fund Country Grants programme will assist countries to collect high quality data relevant to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This data will cover AMR and drug resistant infections, and the use of antimicrobial medicines in human and animal health, agriculture and aquaculture.

By 2022, the Fleming Fund will have helped 24 low and middle income countries to start building a sustainable national surveillance programme to fight AMR. The increase in data, shared nationally and globally, will form the basis of changes in policy and practice for the use of antimicrobial medicines.
