Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health threat. Resistant microorganisms (i.e. bacteria, viruses and some parasites) through genetic mutations become too strong that they become resistant to the antimicrobials (i.e. antibiotics, antivirals and antimalarial) over the period.1 These microorganisms are present in our environment, spreading from one person to another and from animals to human beings.2 While a considerable burden of AMR is suspected, it is difficult to quantify mortality, disease load and economic loss related to AMR due to the absence of data in Southeast Asia.3 AMR causes prolonged illness, surplus tests, consumption of expensive drugs, intensive care, compromised surgeries, chemotherapy, disability and death. AMR can jeopardize the achievements of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
