Efficacious antimalarial medicines are critical to malaria control and elimination. Continuous monitoring of their efficacy is needed to inform treatment policies in malaria-endemic countries, and to ensure early detection of, and response to, drug resistance.
Pour combattre et éliminer le paludisme, il est essentiel de disposer de médicaments antipaludiques efficaces. Un suivi régulier de l’efficacité des médicaments s’impose pour orienter les politiques de traitement dans les pays d’endémie palustre et assurer la détection précoce de la ph ... more
Para controlar y eliminar el paludismo (o malaria) es fundamental contar con fármacos antipalúdicos eficaces. Para fundamentar las políticas de tratamiento en los países donde esta enfermedad es endémica, y para garantizar la pronta detección de toda farmacorresistencia y una adecuada respuest ... more
In November 2022, WHO launched a strategy to address antimalarial drug resistance in Africa, emphasizing the need for stronger surveillance. While regional monitoring networks have been active in other regions, most in Africa have not convened since 2017–2018. To renew collaboration, WHO organized ... more
Online Database: Provides recommendations for 21 common infectious diseases; Classifies antibiotics into three groups based on the potential to induce and propagate resistance; Identifies antibiotics that are priorities for monitoring and surveillance of use
Developed through broad and inclusive consultation, and aligned with the WHO Global Health Sector Strategies and the Sustainable Development Goals, the framework promotes a people-centred approach and antimicrobial stewardship across 5 key domains: prevention and response, surveillance, research and ... more

Malgré ces progrès, le paludisme reste toutefois un problème de santé mondial important, avec environ 282 millions de cas et 610 000 décès en 2024, soit environ 9 millions de cas de plus que l'année précédente. La région Afrique de l'OMS continue de supporter la plus grande partie du farde ... more
Este resumen ejecutivo ofrece una visión general completa de los mensajes clave, los datos y las tendencias del Informe mundial sobre la malaria 2025.
Vaccines contribute to the battle against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by preventing infections and thereby reducing antimicrobial use and the incidence of disease from resistant pathogens. By preventing infection transmission, vaccines extend population protection by also reducing the risk of inf ... more
Effective infection prevention and control (IPC) is the cornerstone of every health system. As of 2023, 17 Member States have a functioning IPC programme; 19 countries have developed national IPC guidelines; and 13 countries have adopted multimodel intervention strategies to improve th
It is estimated that around 2 billion people worldwide do not have access to essential medicines. Access to medicines in the Eastern Mediterranean Region varies among countries, depending on their income level and allocation of domestic resources to medicine and vaccine procurement. Access to safe a ... more
Objective To determine whether adding urine culture to urinary tract infection diagnosis in pregnant women from refugee camps in Lebanon reduced unnecessary antibiotic use.
Animicrobial resistance (AMR) was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the top 10 health threats facing humanity. The effects of AMR are far-reaching as it cuts across sectors and affects food safety, nutrition security, livelihoods, environment and, consequently, attainment o ... more
La résistance aux antimicrobiens (RAM) est une réponse évolutive naturelle à l’exposition aux antimicrobiens, qui a été aggravée par des comportements humains, tels que l’utilisation abusive et excessive d’antimicrobiens, l’utilisation d’antimicrobiens dans l’agriculture et la ... more

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a leading cause of death in the African region, surpassing fatalities from malaria, HIV, and TB. In response to this critical threat, the region has adopted the AMR Global Action Plan and the African Union Framework for Antimicrobial Resistance Control 2 ... more
Antimicrobials are medicines, including antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics, that are used to prevent and treat infections in humans, animals, and plants. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) arises when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to these medicines, ren ... more
Until fairly recently, debates about how to tackle the looming threat of antibiotic resistance have tended to focus on how to come up with new antibiotics
