WHO initiatives to build global AMR surveillance capacity Dr Danilo Lo Fo Wong Programme Manager An*microbial Resistance
AMR Surveillance Local National Regional Global Needed to: Guide patient treatment Inform local, national and regional action Monitor effectiveness of interventions Understand resistance development and spread Detect newly emerged resistance Major objective of European (2011) and Global (2015) AMR action plans
Expanding AMR surveillance throughout Europe European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) Central Asian and Eastern European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance (CAESAR) European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe Countries submitting data to CAESAR Countries visited for CAESAR participation Countries to be visited for CAESAR participation Countries participating in EARS-Net
CAESAR Network Central Asian and Eastern European Surveillance of An2microbial Resistance Network of networks Strengthen national AMR surveillance Member States, not part of EARS-Net of EU Joined initiative European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) National Institute of Public Health in the Netherlands (RIVM) Close collaboration ECDC Use methodology compatible to EARS-Net @ WHO/Europe
CAESAR Methodology Pathogens under surveillance S. aureus (MRSA) S. pneumoniae (Pen R) E. coli (ESBL, Carbapenemases) K. pneumoniae (ESBL, Carbapenemases) E. faecium and E. faecalis (VRE) P. aeruginosa (MDR) Acinetobacter spp.
CAESAR Methodology Routinely collected blood or CSF isolates MIC/Zone diameter/etest and SIR interpretations International guidelines (EUCAST/ CLSI) Patient characteristics Gender, Age, ICU Denominator information Patient days to calculate incidences
CAESAR collaboration country support WHO EURO Political expertise Country support process Country situation analysis Follow up ac*vi*es National workshops Multi country workshops Consultancy / Mentorships Observerships / Twinning Focus - Laboratory capacity building; Reference labs; QA, ID & AST, EUCAST - CAESAR methodology; Standardized data collection - Diagnostic and antibiotic stewardship ESCMID Laboratory expertise RIVM IT/EPI expertise
CAESAR External Quality Assessment 15 countries have participated in 2015 (250 labs) Laboratories providing/planning to provide data to CAESAR Joint initiative with UK-NEQAS (PHE) and ECDC Six strains sent to each laboratory Results reported via secured website Instant feedback on performance
CAESAR Annual Report 2014 Data of 5 countries (Turkey, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Belarus, Switzerland) EQA results 2013 (9 countries) Levels of data quality described Guidance of data interpretation Provide AMR data to support policy decisions Encourage implementation, maintenance and improvement of national AMR surveillance programs
Global AMR Action Plan - Strategic Objectives http://www.who.int/drugresistance/global_action_plan/en/ 1. Improve awareness and understanding 2. Strengthen knowledge and evidence base 3. Reduce incidence of infection 4. Optimize use of antimicrobial medicines 5. Develop economic case for sustainable investment
